I think the only reason to leave Jelly in Commons is
to avoid repackaging Jelly and its dependant Apache
applications (two inside Jakarta that I know of). I'm
amenable to:
1. Jelly core and tags stay in Commons (+1)
2. Jelly core stays in Commons, while tags become a
Jakarta subproject (+1)
3. Jelly core and tags become a Jakarta
subproject (+0)
Someone person or people would have to volunteer for
the third option however, since that involves some
extra work.

Me too. I will probably volunteer to release some
subset of the non-core tags, but only after Jelly 1.0
is out there. Each tag should have independent
releases, version numbers, etc. A combo jar would be
a definite plus, so we should look at that too, but
IMO only after the individual releases are complete.
