[fpc-announce]Invitation to freepascal developers

[Matthias Thoma]

Hello Freepascal Programmers,

We would like to invite you to join the attempt to make at least large parts
of our JEDI Code Library (www.delphi-jedi.org) Freepascal compatible.

Some of you might already know it from the Delphi world but most of you
surely has never ever heard something about it. Here is a short introduction
of what it is and isn't. The JCL is built upon code donated from the JEDI
community. It is reformatted to achieve a common look-and-feel, tested,
documented and merged into the library.

The library is grouped into several categories such as Strings, Files and
I/O, Security, Math, Unicode and many, many more.

The library is released to the public under the terms of the Mozilla Public
License (MPL) and as such can be freely used in both freeware/shareware,
opensource and commercial projects. To better suit the needs of Freepascal
we are going to dual license the JCL as MPL-LGPL in future.

If you'd like to help us to make this reality please contact us at
jcl at delphi-jedi.org - we're looking forward to hear from you!
