Ah, hi Jonathan how are you?
I think we discussed this issue extensively last time Jonathan was on the
last a couple of years ago. Perhaps I might suggest the rest of the
Velocity community just refuse to be baited and stick to the topic at
hand?
(basically, ignore the temptation to have the last word).
As I remember, the topic was how new community members can help out.
Cheers,
WILL

Cooler heads always prevail. I hadn't heard of freemarker until today.
I have too much already written in velocity and it all works. there are
things I would like to have better, so I decided to volunteer my time.
I am digging through the wiki and source and will try my hand at getting
a patch done to fix an issue.
Velocity seemed dead to me, but still viable. It is highly recommended
in many j2ee/spring framework documents/books. In a feature comparison,
it does seem freemarker has a few more features. However, what I
couldn't do in the template, I did in my controller and stuffed into the
model. Not elegant, but it worked.
I am not one to let anyone give me the run around. I like to get things
done and see velocity as another great tool.
Regards,
Shawn
