[clay] Clay: possible subproject of Tiles?

[Antonio Petrelli-3]

Hi all (and in particular Gary VanMatre).
Now that Shale is being dismantled, I think that Clay could live as a
subproject of Tiles, since its primary goal is to work with templates.
I think that both projects could benefit from each other, though Clay
is tightly connected to JSF.

Thoughts?

I actually don't think Shale is going anywhere... what seems more
likely is that we'll "retire" bits of it (like the Tiles integration)
in favor of other things that already exist, and _maybe_ split up the
distribution so things can be released separately as people are
interested in them.

For what its worth, I am very interested in the future of clay as I
have a lot of work invested in it.  I am willing do whatever it takes
to keep it around.

Thanks. As you may have noticed in other threads, we are slowly (given
some recent distractions) moving towards a new release. That being the
case, it would be very helpful if you could try the latest code
(specifically Clay, and whatever other modules interest you) in the
active release branches [1],[2] and give us feedback. Such feedback is
one of the important factors that will be used to determine the
quality of the release, for example. Thanks again for your interest.
