Definitely NOT a web-only focus; nothing could be further from my mind! I propose that the focus of the Velocity TLP would be projects that are built upon and/or for regular use with Velocity. In other words, projects (and more importantly, their communities!) that are clearly invested in the core Velocity library. I'd say we want another umbrella because a Velocity-focused one would be better for the whole of the Velocity community than remaining under the unbelievably unfocused umbrella of Jakarta whose few recent attempts at focusing better (finally!) are threatening to make things like VelocityTools unwelcome in its shade. :)
