To be make sure I'm clear: the modified proposal is to copy the VelocityServlet code to Tools, opt. deprecate the core copy of VelocityServlet, incorporate the Servlet section in the Velocity Main Dev Guide into the Tools Dev guide, and have the Main docs simply point to this new location?
Well, I guess what I was thinking was to *not* just move it, but start again - try to combine best practices in making something more useful for real life. I have stopped using the VelocityServlet because it doesn't do much for me in my real life.

As a first step we could make it so VelocityViewServlet doesn't require subsclassing VelocityServlet and is resource based so it can be run from within a WAR with zero configuration.

where introspection is used and the action is taken from the URL. It's really trivial, but it works for me.
You've mentioned that before. Sounds interesting and would make it much easier for people to get started using Velocity. Right now, it's a bit of a leap for beginners to go from VelocityServlet to an MVC framework.
