In another thread, Don pointed out that we need to be more forthcoming with the project's roadmap. Right now, the Tiles roadmap is not clear to me. I thought our intention was to propose it as a subproject, but people have gradually come to speak of it as a Struts subproject. > If there is sufficient interest/support from developers, then i don't > see any problem with having Tiles be a top level project.

If Tiles has become a one-developer show, then we have deeper problems that we need to fix now. > Right now, it is easier for me to envision Tiles staying on as a > Struts subproject.

Eventually, we may find a way to merge Action and Shale back together again, but for now, no one has figured out a way to do that. But, we may yet. Standalone Tiles is not dependant on either Shale or Action. Tiles is a component that they both *can* use, the same way they both use BeanUtils. When we extracted all the other components, we gave them lives of their own in the Commons. We should pay Tiles the same courtesy. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
