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.

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.
I think I posted it to the list a while ago. I'm happy to do again if there's interest. I think it makes things even more confusion for people, because it pre-supposes you have a clue how servlets work, and are fine with the way it's being used. I will guess it isn't for everyone, and more sophisticated servlet developers won't like it. However, I wouldn't use anything else, because banging out simple UI's for the project I'm working on is just so easy.
Let me know if I should repost.
