I'd more say that you deliver a set of components that integrate HTML5 (and standard browser APIs) with servers-side rendering technology "JavaServer Faces(tm)". Maybe you also say that you create a kinda (base) framework, so that if you don't catch all HTML5 stuff, it is easy to continue from your work (to leverage your started work). Just a thought. > 2. Approach? What will be my approach?

I'd not say duplicated; Try to "sell" it. For instance <input type:text...> has some "build-in" validation rules, in HTML5 right? (at least as far as I remember and older WHAT doc). So say it like leveraging the new posibility to provide them as JSF components. You could enhance the maven-plugin, if needed. Not sure if that has an impact on "needs to be created during summer of code". > 3. Schedule? Ok, this is related to deliverables and will be answered after > question #1.
