Hi List,
Over the last half year, it seems Tomahawk, despite some fine
components, is dead; the 2.0 release hasn't gotten off the ground for
al these months, and no one seems to be actively developing it.
Trinidad on the other hand seems to acquire more and more momentum.
Now, as Tomahawk has some really cool components Trinidada doesn't
have, and while there is for sure an overlap between the two, are
there any plans for getting rid of this project clutter and unifying
these two project lines, resulting in a focussed approach?
It is my feeling the current approach hurts the MF project. There
already was quite some comment on TSS on the fact MF was really late
in implementing the 1.2 spec(I know, not only for tech reasons), but
that's not the only problem: there are all these subprojects (what to
advise to newbies? I really couldn't tell) and if you happen to
combine Facelets + MF 1.2 + Tomahawk, you're in for a debugging fest!
The list of issues seems endless. It's no fun anymore.
Therefore, in the view of the upcoming hackatron event in december,
could we share, here, some ideas/thoughts on possible/preferable
roapdmaps? I'd love to see
- a short term plan to address the Tomahawk 2.0 release
- a mid/long term plan to reduce project clutter (converge the
sublines!) We can move much faster and better, if focussed.

(Ps I'm not pointing fingers here - I'm just genuinly concerned and
wondering how we could better pick things up from here)
