++1 On moving to a top level project. Well, ok I agree on all points. Sounds like the perfect time to have tapestry show up on the top level project with a brand new look & feel combined with maven2 build.
I don't want to, nor do I think I've earned the right to be any sort of chairman of anything, but if no one else thinks they want to do it I will volunteer my services as a last resort. Can't say how politically/anything else savvy I would be at it but I'd try..heh I may be able to create some new icons and such, but it's very very painful to do ;) (I just finished a new tacos/tapestry icon plus maven theme that I'm itching to push out for tacos, once the testng part is done) Does this mean that tacos could move to apache and get subversion finally? Woo hoo! :) In summary, I think you've all completely earned your right to a top level project by sticking to your guns and only designing what you thought was the best solution, which has also been proven to be a sound path..So, bring it on ! jesse On 1/10/06, Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Anyone up for tapestry.apache.org?
