Hang on, slow down just a bit :-) Before we jump off the TLP cliff
let's make sure we know all the options and have consensus from
everybody involved.
Ok!
Here's the viable choices as I see them:
1) Jakarta Web Components Subproject - What components will make up
this list? Who all needs to be involved in the discussion?
I'm not inclined to follow this path as Jakarta is already quite a
diverse group that is trying to become more centralized/focused in order
to build more community. Brining in a new developers with no other
involvement in that community into the mix seems to create more
disconnect - not more community.
2) Apache Web Components TLP - What components will make up this list?
Who needs to be involved in the discussion? What's the process to proceed?
This is my preference. I think the next steps would be to follow up
with the other potential projects to see if they are even interested.
The core ones that I'd start talking to are:
- Tiles (Apache)
- Jakarta Commons File Upload (Apache)
- Java Web Parts (SF)
- XAP (Apache Incubator)
3) Apache Tiles TLP - Seems we could do this here and now and submit a
proposal to the board. Who else should we bring into the discussion?
Doable, and probably the easiest to get going - but also the hardest to
maintain. It doesn't seem to me like there are enough interested
parties to carry the load.
The original proposal that Ted referenced included the following three
individuals: David Geary, Nathan Bubna, Matthias Wessendorf. I wonder
if they are still interested.
Options that have been discussed and rejected:
1) Struts subproject - Struts does not need to become an umbrella.
2) Jakarta Commons component - Tiles is more of a framework than most
of the components under commons. Several people have voiced their
objection to this approach.
3) Struts2 Tiles Plugin - Removes the "standalone" nature of Tiles.
So... of the three viable options, let's discuss and decide where to go
from here.
I'm willing to run with #2 and try to drive it. I'll gladly participate
and help someone else with either of the other options.
