Yes, also TCK is outstand and important to the MyFaces implementation and so on.

Sorry for not making clear... But this was not meant as "let's do that now" ;)

My only comment is to remind people that the ASF and SourceForge are quite different in the way they work. The ASF is a meritocracy, while SF tends to be more of a free-for-all. The relevance of this to a component repository is that just because someone shows up at MyFaces with a new component doesn't mean that they can necessarily get it added. It would depend on whether or not they have a history with the project, and whether the existing community deems that they have sufficient merit to be invited to join - or whether existing committers are willing to take responsibility for the component themselves. Of course, SF *can* work this way as well. It's just not required to do so.
I like the Struts way and their *incubator* on SF :-) Some of the inventions that were placed their migrated after a period into the core of Struts.
So why not having such a thing for something like "Apache Faces"? Components from encouraged users could first integrated into a SF project, and may come into Apache Faces Components...
Just a thought,
Sure, time is also a factor for that. But perhaps it is worth to think about something like that!

So basically you need to decide how you want a central repository to work before you can decide whether it should live at the ASF as part of MyFaces, or live somewhere else such as SourceForge.
