As checked in to the board agenda... Apache Tiles is a Java EE templating framework built to simplify the development of web application user interfaces.
Community: It's been an interesting quarter for the Tiles project. I fully expected to come to this report with a resolution to move Tiles to the attic, but it seems we're not quite ready for that yet. Instead we added Mick Semb Wever to the PMC as he is wanting to push toward a Tiles 3 release. Steady progress has been made toward that goal. I do believe it would be good to change the project chair soon. We discussed that and no interested candidate emerged. So I've agreed to continue in this role for the time being. Depending on how things play out over the next few months we'll see if the PMC changes or if anyone else on the PMC has a change of heart. The last week or so has seen a real flurry of activity on the users list. Some of that has been one poster who is being a little overzealous with new threads. But some of it does seem to indicate genuine new interest. There have been a few names I've not noticed before. This is interesting since there was not a single response on the users list when we posted that we were considering moving the project to the Attic. If there is still interest in the project we need to figure out how to convert some of these users to committers. Otherwise I do think the Attic will be in our near future. Trademarks: As far as I know we are now in full compliance with the Foundation trademark guidelines. The only outstanding item I am aware of was to get our Project Metadata up to date. We got that done a couple of weeks ago.
