> It would be really nice to be able to access resources through tags rather than having to use Scriptlet for even basic Resource iteration.  I've created a patch for adding tags to:
>  - Get a Resource
>  - List Child Resources
>  - Adapt adaptables to other classes
>  - Get properties from ValueMaps (with default values)
> With these new tags, you will be able to do things like create an entire navigation without scriptlet:
> <ul>
>     <sling:getResource var="currentResource" path="/libs" />
>     <sling:listChildren var="children" resource="${currentResource}" />
>     <c:forEach var="child" items="${children}">
>         <c:if test="${child.name != 'jcr:content'}">
>             <sling:getResource var="pageContent" path="${child.path}/jcr:content" />
>             <sling:adapt adaptable="${pageContent}"  adaptTo="org.apache.sling.api.resource.ValueMap" var="childProperties" />
>             <sling:getProperty key="jcr:title" defaultValue="${child.name}" var="title" properties="${childProperties}" />
>             <li><a href="${child.path}.html">Title: ${title}</a></li>
>         </c:if>
>     </c:forEach>
> </ul>
