Say, weren't you working on a Shale in Action book at one time.

Myfaces is really only interested in the test library and they would rather not support any of the other libraries. I'm all in favor of consolidating some of these ideas but it would not be responsible to just drop support. Admittedly, there has not been much recent activity amongst the shale committers but more than nonexistent. Myfaces is already a very large community. I think a better plan would be to grow the shale community with volunteers that have an itch to scratch. Shale is a project that is not sponsored by a company and not an RI implementation so our volunteers are contributing primarily on their own time. The vision of Shale was to provide feature addons to JSF. We will be seeing forms of these features added to the next versions of the JSF spec so as time passes they will be less desirable. However, I have to believe there are fresh ideas out there looking for a home. I don't think I can answer you question about when the next shale release will be. I think it depends on when we can coordinate the efforts. > > Cheers > > > > Bernhard > > Gary >
