Hi Henri,
More specific response.
As I said before, I think Velocity is more Component than Framework -- in
other words a library serving a specific purpose in an app rather than an
over-arching application container.
Inviting NVelocity to join is an interesting but (to me) not currently
compelling idea. If Jakarta is to be the "Java component brand" of Apache -
would a .Net port be a useful fit? I'd like to see this idea arise out of
user demand rather than a top-down "gee they seem to fit neatly together"
idea. I'd welcome thoughts from others on this. (Cort - are you out
there?) Note that NVelocity appears to be already under the Apache license.
I'm also a bit skeptical that Velocity would work as a TLP until we build up
the committer base. Right now there's 3 mildly active committers and 2
dormant ones. Not enough I think to run a TLP.
Appreciate all your thinking about this. I'll shut up now and see if anyone
else has opinions. Henning's been quiet the last couple of weeks but I know
he felt strongly about this at ApacheCon.

That was it. Someone (possibly you Will) had mentioned it to me.
I mentioned the idea of Velocity going TLP to Henning and Will at
ApacheCon last month. I'm trying to focus Jakarta's role and I think
the various frameworks can all goto TLP, leaving the smaller
components behind. Velocity sits halfway between framework and
component I think, so I've not been pushing too hard for its moving.
However, one advantage of going TLP would be that NVelocity could be
invited to join in.

NVelocity is an explicit port to .NET. I assume that's what you are
looking
for.

If you're interested in the solution space, similar technologies are
Smarty
(PHP) and Template Toolkit (Perl) among others.
Cheers,

Dumb question, but are there other language implementations of Velocity?
