Thanks, Shawn.
"Dead" is what you make it. The user community is strong. Thanks for
offering to help us pick up the dev pace. Even a little is helpful.
As an aside the integration with Spring is quite nice - I've been spending a
lot of time this year with such an app. One todo is to improve the notes on
the Wiki about Spring/Velocity.
Best, WILL

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
