WebMacro will continue to be the "Evolution" of an ~Apache~ HTML template-ing engine with the intent that the Velocity "Revolution" will eventually take over when it is ready (again, with the intent that this transition from WM to Velocity will become a natural process from the stand point that the innovations that Velocity will provide, will make it a better choice over WM.) As a side note to Jon and the ASF, maybe the e-mail thread about the "Evolution Vs. Revolution" that went on during the development Tomcat should be made easily available from the Jakarta Web Page. What would real be cool is if we colud get Eric Raymond <http://www.tuxedo.org/%7Eesr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/index.html> to write about the concept of "Evolution Vs. Revolution" in like a 2nd Edition of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" to put a positive spin on forking or at least that forking does not have to be a negative thing in Open-Source development. just my $*.02 -ScottTavares- ------------------------------------------------------------ To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Search: <http://www.mail-archive.com/turbine%40list.working-dogs.com/> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
