I took a look at the page ( http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/People/WritingCustomComponents) and inspected the MyFaces.tar file. It looks like there would be a LOT to do for someone not knowing the "innards" of MyFaces (in particular adding the "design time artifacts" as mentioned in the Wiki).
To me, this would seem like a logical thing for someone in the MyFaces community to do :)
It would really help out a lot of people, and help greatly expand the user base of MyFaces very quickly!
So, is anyone looking at doing this?
