A few developers here have used freemarker a little while ago and loved it. It seems to be a very good alternative to velocity.
Since it worked for WebWork and after some little discensions the community seems be very well and alive, I would like to throw the suggestion the freemarker joins OpenSymphony. If the suggestion makes sense, an evaluation of the ptoential must be done by both party. Also, goals and directions for the project should be established first. I think this is the part that was missing when the WebWork joined OpenSymphony. Cheers, ___________________________ Francois Beauregard, b.ing.

Let me turn this around on you :-) Please add Freemarker as another view technology for Webwork, and we'll welcome you with open arms! Unless one of the Webwork developers is using Freemarker, you're unlikely to get us to spend time to make it work, but we welcome choices, so please add Freemarker as another view choice for Webwork.
