Hi Al, As you have hopefully seen from the wiki update recently, I have been working on code that integrates page navigation and inter-page data communication with the orchestra conversation concept.
It's now working in basic form, pretty much as the wiki describes it, so I would like to commit this to the apache svn. There is enough for people to give feedback on, or to start helping with if they wish. The code is a clean layer on top of orchestra, so while it *could* be merged into the orchestra core project, it can also be its own project. Given that it does need a custom NavigationHandler and ViewHandler I think a separate project is nicer; then people don't get custom handlers installed if they just want orchestra conversations. However it is really "sandbox" quality code at the moment, ie the APIs and features could change significantly over the next few weeks. And there has been no official vote on allowing this new Orchestra subproject. So I could either: (a) create a sub-project myfaces/orchestra/trunk/flow, publish to snapshot-repo and main myfaces website as normel, but make sure that the welcome page for the website says SANDBOX in big letters and the version number is something like 0.0.1 or (b) check it in under a branch, and NOT publish the website anywhere. I think (a) is enough; there is a fair chance that some form of this code will eventually become a real project. And having both a site and a normal location for the code makes life easier for everyone. The above precautions should ensure that no-one thinks it is a real approved myfaces project. And there is no problem removing it again if it does not get approval. So any objections to creating orchestra/trunk/flow and marking the project as SANDBOX quality? Regards, Simon
