Martin - Just as you mention, I've heard opinions (and more lately) about Taglibs needing fresh blood, revitalization; something radical. As a developer/contributor, the draw in the WebApp Commons subproject proposal for me is more committers (instantly!), i.e. more sets of eyes to respond to things like this [ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=taglibs-dev&m=111765575817770&w=2 ].
In my opinion, testimonials like this one [ http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=jakarta-commons-dev&m=111871163630760&w=2 ] tend to indicate nephritic failure; and that has a way of quickly using up the best of fresh blood. I'm sure we're looking at this not as outsourcing the revitalization of our community, but rather a chance to be exposed to a larger audience, and to share our passion for Taglibs with like-minded people. I'm happy to help with this. -Rahul P.S.- All, please note: 1) I don't intend the least bit of offence to anyone (I'm hoping its obvious). Please, I urge, none be taken. 2) I understand constraints; day-time jobs, families, other engagements. 3) I want the best for the entire taglibs community (including a future for the sandbox taglibs). 4) I have read views of multiple Jakarta committers on this topic, on multiple related threads.
