Based on the Taglibs future email a while back, it sounds like we might have some number of people interested in working on things. Here's a proposal for a general direction:
1) Taglibs contains three active items: * Standard 1.1 (1.0 being considered an older, unsupported release). * Unstandard - containing a merger of all useful parts of the other Taglibs. * RDC. 3) Merge the following into Unstandard. Then retire them. * Log. Tempted to dump commons-logging from trunk and have two log taglibs, one for log4j and one for jdk logging. * DateTime. JSTL replaces this, but before we retire it we should investigate for snippets for Unstandard. * i18n. Same as DateTime. * JNDI. Be interesting to see if there's anything we could grab from this. * Random. Maybe something for Unstandard. Overlap with String. * Regexp. We should investigate whether any of its bits are worth rewriting on top of JDK 1.4 for Unstandard. * String. Hesistant to push too much of what's in here into Unstandard, but a few might be worth it. 2) Retire the following: * DataGrid. Better to work well with and recommend DisplayTag. * Benchmark. Not a big enough deal. * BSF. I wonder if we should offer this over to the BSF project? * Cache. This was never released and should still be in the sandbox. * Input. I don't think anyone is using this anymore. * IO. This stuff should be done in Java imo. * JMS. Messenger was never released. Again, this should be in Java. * Mailer. This is a tough one, users bring it up, and find problems. I'd rather see people being encouraged to work with commons-email with a templating language and dropping this. * Scrape. Best done in Java methinks. * XTags. Not used enough. * Ultradev. I'm sure this is ages out of date. * Image. Better as an API, which I think Abey had somewhere. * Mailer2. I'm still not sure about email from jsp pages :) Again, commons-email. Also all the Deprecated's should be Retired. Thoughts?
