Just an idle thought. I wonder if folks wanted to mirror the mailing list to nabble? I mused on twitter today about the relative activity of the various programming languages on nabble... http://www.nabble.com/Programming-Languages-f13993.html then Graham Rocher spotted that Ruby also included R

If you were building an application which didn't require any COMET nor needed any data stored in the session and you were happy to disable the random form field name generation (so a form submission, due to failover/load balancing could be processed by any servlet container in the cluster) - would

BTW speaking of PAX - I've found a nice easy way to test OSGI jars (as its so easy to mess up the metadata) is to use Pax Exam to create an OSGi integration test of your bundles against one or more OSGi containers (e.g. Felix and Equinox), using the maven poms and the Apache ServiceMix/Karaf p

I was trying out various IDEs to run the unit tests in the lift-webkit module and was getting errors. I guess due to recent changes in scala language version? Here's the trivial patch that fixes it - it seems reflection on the continuation stuff was no longer working http://github.com/jstrachan/l

Great stuff! The only thing I can think of that could be improved is maybe mentioning the JavaRebel stuff; when seeing Rails demos, there's no stop-start-wait-30 seconds type stuff while maven does its thing - maybe in the next screen cast the JavaRebel stuff could be shown so that the same rails

This might seem a truly bizarre request - particularly to folks who solely use lift as their web framework; but I've been hacking up a number of JAXRS services - I'm a big JAXRS fan (and slowly being drawn to scala/lift). I'd like to make Lift templates an option for any JAXRS developer who's mad
