Documentation definitely needs some work, but its not the only thing. Beanshell support is also not well documented at this point. It is one of our areas of focus for September as we ramp up to a final release. > > I was hoping you could point me to the [VOTE] or [RT] thread where > marmalade was discussed. > As far as the Maven community works (at least as I understand it), is that we don't vote on every new feature. We work through issues in JIRA and people have ample opportunity to speak up about it in advance. Major changes to existing code would be discussed first on the list, of course. If it is particular hairy we might discuss it in real time on IRC and publish the logs as we did for some earlier design sessions. Developers follow what is happening across JIRA, CVS and the lists and have the opportunity to veto developments. In this particular case, it was very early in the development of m2 which itself was part of a revolutionary effort rather than being on the Maven mainline, so there was not a need for a great deal of discussion as everything was experimental. I don't even know what [RT] stands for, but I see people involved with cocoon use it all the time in various lists. Maybe you can enlighten me. I assume you are looking for further justifications for introducing marmalade. The answer really is that my previous mail covered it. Maybe John will have something to add. - Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
