Hello,
I appreciate the open communication. Using the combination of patches and wikis
(and someone that merges the changes from a tmp branch to
trinidad-branch) is fine.
If there are (big) questions on the code, that needs to be discussed
here as well.
Also Legal issues are also solved, as both signed the icla and they
are listed on Oralce's
CCLA. (Andy already has an Apache account).
Looking forward to read the wiki / patch
Thanks for the mail, Andrew!

Hey all, wanting to send a heads up:
Pavitra Subramaniam and Andy Schwartz have spent a good amount of time
looking into Trinidad 2 and what gaps there are with Trinidad 2 and
JSF 2's AJAX implementation. Pavitra has also already done some work
on her own and has got much of Trinidad working with the built-in JSF
2 requests during some prototyping and her gap analysis. Andy is going
to move their findings and results of their research into the MyFaces
WIKI on the gaps, issues and begin a discussion on this list and on
the WIKI about a phased strategy of migrating Trinidad.
Pavitra created this JIRA ticket with her work so far:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1704
I also want to be help out with this effort and am planning on helping
out with the client JavaScript side first I think.
The three of us are employed by Oracle and have time allocated for
assisting Trinidad 2 in this capacity and will be ensuring to be
operating in the standard MyFaces development way, meaning both open,
submitting patches, maintaining a WIKI and leveraging the mailing
lists and JIRA.
I created a private branch in SVN
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/trinidad/branches/jsf2_ajax)
so that the AJAX changes can be made gradually and only merged into
the 2.0.x branch when it is stable enough to not break the 2.0.x
branch.
I just wanted to send this email out as a heads up so that the whole
community is aware of the work that has already been done on research
and Pavitra's initial work. Once Andy has written the WIKI, he or I
will post the link as a reply in this thread so any community feedback
can be made on this thread to make following this work easier.
Basically I wanted to make sure that the submissions and help from
Oracle is done in an open manner that is congruent to the modus
operandi of the ASF.
Once the WIKI is up, let me know if there is interest in helping out
or if you have any comments on any of the suggested approaches.
Thanks,
Andrew
