I heard :) One my goals as a contributor is to make the project easier to consume for new people, whether they are users or contributors. I think having quickstarts will get us some traction with those developers that don't do Java regularly, or are new to it as a programming language. If we can give those people a few building blocks to use that will accelerate their project startup time/POC development and give them warm feelings about what a nice experience it was :) > > Rémy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
