[Proposal] Apache Tobago as a top-level project instead of a MyFaces subproject?

[Mike Kienenberger <mk...@gmail.com>]

Tobago team,

How do you feel about becoming a top-level project rather than
remaining a subproject inside of MyFaces?

You now have at least four active committers, three of whom are ASF
members and PMC members.   I'd be willing to stay on as a PMC member
as long as you need me, or even as the PMC chair if you like.  I'm
guessing other MyFaces PMC members would also be willing to stay with
the new TLP.

I propose we start dismantling MyFaces as an umbrella project wherever
it makes sense.  DeltaSpike shows that this can actually result in a
more vibrant community.    Our own experiences here in MyFaces shows
some of the downsides of having so many subprojects, such as not
noticing when a sub-project is starting to need help due to current
contributors moving on, or overlooking new contributors because we
assume someone else is working on the subproject.

Tobago makes sense as a first step in that since
1) Tobago is already rather isolated from the other subprojects.
2) Active healthy Tobago community with years of experiences at the ASF.
3) It's called "Apache Tobago" rather than "Apache MyFaces Tobago" so
we don't need to worry about branding or renaming issues.

Hi,

i'm not a tobago developer but here are my 2 cents.

i really like to idea.
Many people think that every MyFaces project (Trinidad, Tobago, Tomhawk,
CODI and so on...) only belongs and works with MyFaces Core.
Not sure how they think nowadays but in the past many people overlooked and
ignored it because it's called MyFaces SomeProject.

Propably Orchestra would be much more popular. Just have a look at CODI ->
DeltaSpike.
There are still many devs which uses JSF and Spring.

Hi,

I like the idea of having all JSF component frameworks in the ASF as part of
the MyFaces project. Of course it's not difficult to link them together
(like Hadoop does with related TLPs) but as the number of devs preferring
other "more lightweight" web frameworks is increasing, I think we should
keep the ASF JSF community together.

Cheers
Dennis
