With limited spare time I've been struggling to figure out where/how Forrest concerns me anymore. I thought its relevance to me is waning. I thought its relevance in general may also be waning. I mean, I realize that Forrest has much more to offer, but still, I look at projects like Exhibit[2] and wonder if we're on the wrong path.
There's been a number of emails that make me question whether that's true or not. We have some interesting code in Forrest2. We have Thorsten talking[1] about using PoJo/Spring in dispatcher. We have Ross beginning to integrate some Ajax-y code. We obviously discussed much of this before the release but it was thought best to just put it on the back-burner until after the release. Unfortunately, after the release, we seemed to focus on JIRA to answer "what's next"[3]. Now, I've got nothing against JIRA, I just think we've got bigger "issues" than those currently captured in JIRA. So, I ask what's the future of forrest? Is Forrest2 or some derivative the answer? Status Quo? Disclaimer: I've tried to follow most discussions in this area but I've missed where this has already been addressed, I'll humbly accept a link. I also realize the energy drain that accompany these questions but I just feel like we're dog-paddling around in the pool right now because we don't have a clear bold direction pointed out.
