I could potentially help out.... - Brendan

Time is the most important - expertise is a nice plus ;-) All of us are relatively new to JSF so don't worry. If we can get a few more people willing to help out then I am willing to reopen some of those old discussions. My first priority at the moment is to finish up the SVN reorg and get our sandbox up and running. sean On 6/21/05, Rahul Pilani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I certainly do have the time, but I don't think I have that much expertise > in JSF, if that's what you are looking for.
