myfaces is already pretty large, so if you feel, that Shale should
stay a TLP, I have no problems with that.
I just came back to this idea, b/c was discussed in the past,
nothing happened, and Shale is pretty ... quite, these days.
There hasn't been allot of activity. Although, I think that other
apache projects have periods of less activity. But, I've not seen
many request on the mailing lists for features to be implemented and
releases to be made.
From the stand point of finding what you need from a mailing list, a
low traffic mailing list is a good thing. The MyFaces lists are
contains MyFaces for JSF 1.1, MyFaces for JSF 1.2, Tomahawk, Trinidad,
Orchestra, and JSF Commons traffic. Adding Shale and it's sub projects
will just increase the traffic and user frustration.
A wild thought. Why not move JSF Commons, in whole or part, into Shale?
This is a way of strengthen the Shale community.

Hi,
as discussed already (here/[EMAIL PROTECTED]) there will be a
move of Shale (or some parts of it), into MyFaces.
But, before a thing like that will happen, we should release
1.0.5 1.1.0
I'd like to see another release. I know there are several
outstanding bugs
logged that need addressed. I hammered down a few several months
ago but have not made the time to dig in again. I saw that Rahul
did some work last week too.
I think another release would be important on both branches. If
we decide to
merge with myfaces and don't take all of the existing modules, I'm
not sure what that will do to people have investments in shale. For
example, Ryan Wynn has shared that they have developed a very large
portal (man years of development) using Clay. That's just one
example and I'm sure there are others that have taken advantage of
other parts of shale.
For this reason, I'm rethinking the "cafeteria" proposal. I plan
to be more
active in the future. IMO, Shale is a lost leader now. Maybe Shale
should consider pulling in more volunteers. That seems to be a
secret to Struts success over the years. That leads to the next
question, would they all be myfaces commiter anyway and would it
just make sense to join communities.
