I vote for option 2.
Option 3 might make sense if the compatibility-option is important. The pointer to the download-packages can be held in myfaces-doc/-wiki, together with a matrix for the compatible versions... regards Alexander > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 10:05 PM > To: MyFaces Discussion > Subject: MyFaces support for Facelets > > Until now, most people are using the WIKI[1] for getting myfaces to > work with facelets.
