How about the MyFaces project here on Apache? Furthermore are we not mixing CSS capabilities with AJAX support. One can have professional css layout without AJAX and vice versa. For me personal that are two different pairs of shoes. Further I prefer a professional css layout coming as contribution from the community then discussing license issue on the legal mailing list. Maybe we want to start a "competition" about the new design on our ml and see what we get. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
