Martin/Ruby/Rahul, Let me express my opinion, in a 'non-linear' order:

I disagree. I see at least 2 reasons why this taglib is interesting (despite being totally ignorant on what's a voice application and which browser is VoiceXML compliant): 1.It uses JSP 2.0. Besides Mailer 2 (which is also in the sandbox), no other existing taglib in the project uses JSP 2.0 2.Not only it uses JSP 2.0 but the tags are implemented using tag files. We don't have yet any taglib that uses this cool feature, so that alone would be a great contribution of this taglib to the project.

But considering your involvement with the Jakarta projects (and ASF overall), I think we should be able to speed up the process by just giving you the jakarta-taglibs-sandbox karma (i.e., not the full Jakarta Taglibs commitership). If that is not possible by the ASF bylaws, fine, we could just follow the regular process - I'm pretty sure you'll be easily accepted.

I disagree again - in my opinion, I'd rather have a couple of taglibs isolated in their 'little worlds' but being actively maintained than a bunch of dormant 'mainstream' taglibs (except by Standard and maybe String/Mailer, most of the other taglibs have been pretty much idle for a long time...). > My 2 cents...
