[again, resent]

 

For the forseeable future, it is highly unlikely that another webapp
framework will be added to Jakarta.  It would be nice, but the political
climate is not going to allow it.  To be honest, I'm not sure that's a
bad thing; Jakarta is struggling with "overcrowding" and lack of focus
as it is.  Maverick will continue to exist as a sourceforge project with
three committers (Scott, Jim, and myself), and we will continue to
explore synergy with the Jakarta crew.  I don't think anyone is in a
rush to make big changes here - either from our side or the Jakarta
side.

Barrie,
That's not what's being said here.  It's that the word and the backing
of the
apache jakarta group that's lacking.  Opensource projects are many but
only
few are recognized.   It is my belief that if an organization such as
the
likes of apache jakarta were to host this project there would be a
substantial interest in the use of Maverick in the developer community. 
There would also be more interest in side projects to create other
plugins/modules and more and thus getting the word out there.
