it looks like, more and more questions on Trinidad are asked on the lists, that is true. I'd not say that Tomahawk is dead; I think there are some known issues and work arounds for that (using it w/ myfaces 1.1.x). I know people use it and works fine. > > 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? You are right, when you say that Tomahawk has interesting components, that aren't available inside of Trinidad. But I'd not say, that Trinidad is not cool. > It is my feeling the current approach hurts the MF project.

We can move much faster and better, if focussed. Regarding a Tomahawk 2.0 release (or project) I'd love to see it on-top of the Trinidad API / Framework (in JSF-version 1.2) Like pick the "good" / "cool" Tomahawk components, and put them into Trinidad. That needs some work, sure.
