I know i'm not really much involved with Tiles lately, but i'd just like to say that i think the idea of a topic-centered umbrella project is a bad idea and not especially likely to be favored by the ASF these days.
IIRC, the discussions about forming a "Jakarta Web Components" group were not about forming a new subproject, but were part of Henri's vision for a flatter, component-centric Jakarta structure that had quasi-formal "groupings" (which could potentially even overlap) to conceptually organize the subprojects. It was definitely not planned that JWC would be a formal subproject containing sub-sub-projects. i don't have time to discuss this heavily atm, but i'll try to find links to the threads in question...

Hang on, slow down just a bit :-) Before we jump off the TLP cliff let's make sure we know all the options and have consensus from everybody involved. Here's the viable choices as I see them: 1) Jakarta Web Components Subproject - What components will make up this list? Who all needs to be involved in the discussion? 2) Apache Web Components TLP - What components will make up this list? Who needs to be involved in the discussion? What's the process to proceed? 3) Apache Tiles TLP - Seems we could do this here and now and submit a proposal to the board. Who else should we bring into the discussion? Options that have been discussed and rejected: 1) Struts subproject - Struts does not need to become an umbrella. 2) Jakarta Commons component - Tiles is more of a framework than most of the components under commons. Several people have voiced their objection to this approach. 3) Struts2 Tiles Plugin - Removes the "standalone" nature of Tiles. So... of the three viable options, let's discuss and decide where to go from here.
