I think that we should be able to avoid incubation. We simply need to show that a community exists around Tiles itself. Once there is activity on the code base, and active discussion of its future on the lists, we should start to invite participants from places outside of Struts, and then at some point create separate mailing lists to support an independent community. (The model I'm thinking of here is Commons HttpClient.) We can also devote a "sub-site" of the main Struts site to Tiles to demonstrate our intent to grow Tiles as an independent entity. Then, when the community thinks it's ready, Tiles could be proposed as an Apache TLP. Much of this is similar to going through incubation, except that I think it will go faster by starting within Struts, because of the large Struts community, and large number of folks within that community that already use Tiles. There are already members of our community here who use Tiles with technologies other than Struts (e.g. Velocity and JSF / MyFaces), so I don't think that will be a stumbling block. -- Martin Cooper > > Or, if someone made a home for Tiles at SourceForge or Tigris or > > Codehaus, that would be great too. > > java.net is also an option. > > > That a community and its codebase lives is more important than where > > it lives. > > Absolutely. > > > david > > > > -Ted. > > > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
