The problem with this is that, in reality, individual taglibs can move back and forth between supported and unsupported, depending upon committer interest in them. The term 'supported' on the web site is really a misnomer. There are several taglibs listed in the 'supported' section of the web site that really aren't supported in any real way. And then there's JSTL, which is listed separately on the web site, but is probably the best supported of all. The goal here is simply to reproduce the current two CVS repo directories under a single 'taglibs' root in SVN. I don't want to get into trying to invent new categories for the various pieces of code that we have. (If we really want to recategorise, let's just get the migration done first; moving things around is easy once we're using SVN.) In Commons, the distinction between Proper and Sandbox is that components in Proper have demonstrated that a community has developed around them, and that they are ready, or nearly ready, for an official release. Components that are still in their infancy, in terms of either or both of community or code, live in the Sandbox. To be honest, Taglibs seems somewhat dysfunctional when it comes to community and to the distinction between "proper" and sandbox. But that's a discussion for another day. ;-) Let's just pick a name for the "proper" part of it, and get the migration to Subversion under our belt. -- Martin Cooper > Have a good 2005! > > -Rahul > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
