Welcome to the developer list for the ADF Faces podling! Our mission, should we choose to accept it :-), is to follow the necessary steps of the Apache Incubator process[1], and get ADF Faces graduated into the MyFaces project. A key status document to keep track of is our project status page on the Incubator web site[2], which I've just updated to reflect the status so far. If you see anything amiss on this page, please let me know and I can get it updated pretty quickly.
While preparing the initial versions of this page, I made a couple of assumptions that should actually be confirmed by this group (or, in the classic Apache way, by silent consensus if nobody objects). It's worth articulating them, to see if we want to make changes: (1) Web Site As an Incubator podling, we have the option to host a web site at an easily guessed URL (http://incubator.apache.org/adffaces/) if we want one. An advantage is that you can find this fairly easily -- a disadvantage is it can only be updated by me, so things might not always happen instantly. At the moment, I've got the status page pointing at the MyFaces web site, assuming that the number of MyFaces committers that can update that makes it a good idea. If we want to stay that way, we should: * Establish a subsection of this web site for the latest and greatest info about ADF Faces * Make the Incubator URL a pointer to this subsection. If we want our own incubator web site, on the other hand, I'll need some content to put up initially. (2) Wiki It's possible to ask for a special Wiki, but it made more sense to me to reuse the MyFaces wiki for stuff that should be publicly updateable. (3) JIRA Categories Per the initial project proposal, we now have a JIRA project[3] to track bugs against ADF Faces. What we don't have yet is categories or version numbers that create the metadata used to categorize issues. We'll want to figure out what makes sense. (I can add them, as I'm project admin for this). I will be making periodic reports to the Incubator PMC (and indirectly to the Board) on our progress, as well as keeping the status page up to date.
