RE : Let's write that doc!

[ir. ing. Jan Dockx]

Well, -1 on that, actually. I am a great believer in wiki's, and I suggest that you won't copy the doc to the homepage, but link from the homepage to the wiki. One of the stifling things about the MyFaces documentation is that it is in Too Many Places. Nobody knows where to look exactly, people are not eager to work on doc's that are not the reals doc's, and create patches and submit them and stuff is far to time consuming. For writing doc's in the wiki, you don't need to checkout the source tree. This is enduser documentation, not developer documentation, so the overhead is stifling the work.

I suggest "we" decide that the documentation will be the wiki. Let's move whatever there is in /forest/content to the wiki (users can do that), and kill that part it Subversion. The examples should stay. At a (much) later date, somebody could decide to create a pdf or a book based on the wiki, but that's another story, and not our current concern.

If you want to get involved even more, it would be great if you would
add this documentation to the /forrest/content section of our
sourcetree for viewing it on the homepage.

(just send us patches, we will commit them)

If not, just put it on the WIKI, and gradually we will move it over to
the homepage.

Martin

Objet : Let's write that doc!

I suggest that we make this a user effort. Everybody, make an account in the
wiki, and <a
href="http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/MyFacesComponents">let's
start documenting those components</a>. If everybody writes a little piece
(what is it for, how to use it), we'll have full documentation by Monday.

I just added a little grain. More to come, I promise.

Thanks so much for pointing out that messages tag. I was just about
to write something similar because I didn't know about it. Is it
listed somewhere on the MyFaces website? I don't see it here:
http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/overview.html

Unfortunately that page is woefully out of date. Updating it is on my
shortlist of things to do.


Regarding your comment on it being specific to MyFaces: Isn't it only
specific to the MyFaces extensions? In other words, couldn't I use it
with the RI as long as I included the myfaces-extensions-1.0.9.jar and
referenced the taglib?

Right you can use tomahawk with the RI and if you want that
functionality use <t:message> instead of <h:message>.
