---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sean Schofield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Feb 15, 2006 9:04 AM Subject: Re: ADF Faces To: James Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> James, Thanks for the offer. JIRA tickets sound good. The APT format sounds great! Try to submit your patches as large chunks so we can update a bunch at once. Every once and a while you can ping the dev list if you find they're not getting applied. I have a few other ideas about the revised docs. I'm not sure syntax and usage are that helpful. We now have a pretty good subsistute for syntax in the form of the TLD docs. Maybe we could have a "See TLD Documentation" under the syntax section for each component? (ex. http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/tlddoc/index.html) My thinking is that instructions section highlights some of the key aspects of the component. Some of the components are pretty trivial. Others are more complicated (like Tree2.) Finally, an optional FAQ would be nice. For instance, there are a lot of tree2 FAQ I would like to add there eventually. Maybe you should start another thread on tomahawk docs so people can weigh in on this? Everyone could take a look at a new sample doc you come up with before you do them all? Just an idea ... Looking forward to seeing your stuff! Sean On 2/14/06, James Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Excellent. I'm going to get started by converting the Tomahawk docs to APT > format.
