-                <p><strong>Tiles 2</strong> is an effort to extract the Tiles 
library
-                from Struts. It is currently housed in the Sandbox area
-                of the Apache Struts Subversion repository.</p>

Tiles</a></strong>
+                is a templating framework built to simplfy the development of 
web
+                application user interfaces.</p>
+
+                <p>Tiles allows authors to define page fragements which can be 
assembled
+                into a complete page at runtime.  These fragments, or tiles, 
can be used 
+                as simple includes in order to reduce the duplication of 
common page
+                elements or embeded within other tiles to develop a series of 
reusable
+                templates. These templates streamline the development of a 
consistent 
+                look and feel across an entire application.</p>
+
+                <p>Tiles grew in popularity as a component of the popular 
+                <a href="http://struts.apache.org";>Struts</a> framework.  It 
has since
+                been extracted from Struts and is now integrated with various 
frameworks,
+                such as <a href="http://struts.apache.org";>Struts2</a>,

+                A mailing list is an electronic discussion forum that anyone
+                can
+                subscribe to. When someone sends an email message to the
+                mailing list,

+                subscribed to

+                communication

+                <p>
+                    Mailing lists provide a simple and effective communication
+                    mechanism.
+                    With potentially thousands of subscribers, there is a
+                    common set of
+                    etiquette guidelines that you should observe. Please keep
+                    on reading.

+                    <li>
+                        The "User" list is where you can send questions and
+                        comments about
+                        configuration, setup, usage and other "user" types of
+                        questions.

+                    <li>
+                        The "Developer" (or "Dev") list is where you can send

+                        comments about the actual software source code and
+                        general
+                        "development" types of questions. 
+                        Questions about the "future" of Tiles  are 
+                        best addressed to the dev list.
+                    </li>
+                </ul>
+
+                <p>Some questions may seem appropriate for posting on both the
+                    "user" and
+                    the "developer" lists. 
+                    In this case, pick one and only one. 
+                    Do not cross post, unless a Committer asks that the 
+                    thread be moved to the other list.
+                </p>
+
+                <p>Asking a configuration question on the developers list is
+                    discouraged because the time of our developers is as 
+                    precious as yours. 
+                    By contacting the developers directly instead of the user 
+                    base you are abusing resources. 
+                    In fact, it is unlikely that you will get a quicker answer,
+                    if any answer at all 
+                </p>
+                
+                <p>
+                    Conversely, a question about the future of Tiles  
+                    or the operation of the Tiles  project is best posted to 
the 
+                    dev list. 
+                    The focus of the user list should be one "how" to do 
+                    something with the framework we have today. 
+                    The focus of the dev list is how we want to do something 
+                    with a future version of the framework.

+                    If your email is more than about a page of text, chances
+                    are that it
+                    won't get read by very many people. It is much better to
+                    try to pack a
+                    lot of informative information (see above about asking
+                    smart questions)
+                    into as small of an email as possible. If you are replying
+                    to a previous
+                    email, it is a good idea to only quote the parts that you
+                    are replying
+                    to and to remove the unnecessary bits. This makes it
+                    easier for people
+                    to follow a thread as well as making the email archives
+                    easier to search
+                    and read.

+                    setting that
+                    will allow you to send "Plain Text" email. If you are
+                    using Microsoft
+                    products to send email, there are several bugs in the

+                    The majority of our mailing lists have set the Reply-To to
+                    go back to the
+                    list. That means that when you Reply to a message, it will
+                    go to the list
+                    and not to the original author directly. The reason is
+                    because it helps
+                    facilitate discussion on the list for everyone to benefit
+                    from. Be careful
+                    of this as sometimes you may intend to reply to a message
+                    directly to someone
+                    instead of the entire list.
+                    The appropriate contents of the Reply-To header is an
+                    age-old debate that
+                    should not be brought up on the mailing lists. You can

+                    If someone makes an off-topic post that offends you,
+                    our best advice is to filter posts from that person to the 
trash.
+                    When subscribers do choose to respond, sometimes a thread
+                    will feed on itself, and grow out of control.
+                    When that happens, our best advice is to filter the entire 
thread to the trash.

+                    Our spam filters will catch most types of commercial spam,
+                    but troll spam is a hard for software to spot.
+                    The best defense is to withhold from the troll what he or 
she wants most: A response.

+
+                <p>When I graduated from school in 1999 I headed to Flower 
Mound,
+                    Texas (a Dallas suberb) where my wife Teresa had grown up.
+                    I was fortunate to find my first web development contract
+                    and began my career on a portal development team providing
+                    user interface implementation support.</p>
+
+                <p>Since that first job, I have worked for a few small
+                    consulting companies providing J2EE design and development
+                    consulting to mid sized and Fortune 500 clients. Many of 
the
+                    projects I've been involved in over the yeras have 
leveraged
+                    struts and tiles. I also have used other web frameworks
+                    such as JSF and Tapestry.</p>
+
+                <p>In the summer of 2006 I left full time employment in order 
to
+                    begin
+                    <a href="http://www.threepillarsoftware.com";>

+                    </a>
+                    . This move was driven by my
+                    desire to spend more time doing the things I love 
(developing
+                    open source software, agile coaching, spending time with my
+                    wife and kids, etc. . .) and less time in corporate 
meetings
+                    and sales calls.</p>
+
+                <p>I am also a committer for
+                    <a href="http://struts.apache.org/";> Apache Struts </a>,

conferences
+                    such as ApacheCon US 2005, Agile2006, and SD Best 
Practices 2006.
+                    In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife 
Teresa and
+                    our 4 kids (under 6!), Sarah, Joseph, Rebekah, and 
Catherine. We
+                    now live in Northern Virginia. </p>
