[Semi-OT] Incubation of Dimensions

[Antonio Petrelli <an...@gmail.com>]

Hi all!
I am asking (again) if you think that proposing Dimensions for
incubation as a Tiles subproject is feasible:
http://mutidimensions.sourceforge.net/
For those who do not know Dimensions (or better, those who did not
read my letters about Dimensions :-) ), it was a Struts-Tiles
extension that allowed to show different content (read: Tiles
definitions) depending on the caller user role-device pair. Currently
I am trying porting it to Tiles 2.
So if you have not anything in contrary, I will start thinking about
an incubation proposal.
Currently I need to find a champion, because the "sponsor" will be the
Apache Tiles project itself. If any Apache member here wants to be the
champion Dimensions, I will be very happy :-)

Let me know your thoughts.

TIA
Antonio

Perfect, it worked, thank you Greg!
Here is the result of a first attempt to build a proposal:

I added you to the tiles-committers group.  See if that works.

I forgot to tell that my username is "apetrelli" and I am referring to
Apache Tiles resource on cwiki.

Errr.. by the way, I cannot add a page to cwiki, probably because I
have not the rights.
Can someone help me?

Ok, i will build it in the wiki for the moment, so we can work on it.

Well, almost :-) It was LGPL, and the problem was for Scopes (not
Dimensions), and it is resolved since HTMLParser (the problematic
package) changed its license to CPL (that is Apache-compatible).

I think the idea has merit.  I haven't studied Dimensions in any real
detail, but it seems like the concepts would be beneficial to our project.
I'm not an apache member so I can't be the champion, but I'd say go ahead
and put together the proposal and we'll look for a champion.

Last time you brought it up I thought there were some GPL dependencies or
something similar that needed to be resolved.  Was that just a dream?
