In my mind, there might be four options: 1. Create "jakarta-skin" and put it (them) into jakarta-site2 2. Create "jakarta-skin" and put it (them) into xml-forrest. We have to wait the next release of Forrest (0.5.2 or 0.6), though 3. Update "avalon-tigris" skin / Patch to it (them) We have to wait the next release of Forrest (0.5.2 or 0.6), though 4. Create "jakarta-XX-skin"s and put it (them) into respective modules. We can make use of it (them) immediately Currently, Jakarta-POI adopts #4 style. Now, I am thinking of the Forrest-ization of Jakarta-Tapestry. (http://www.terra-intl.com/jakarta/tapestry/) Therefore, I am thinking of the #1/#2/#3 options. Any thoughts? -- Tetsuya.
