Guillaume - I love that....

tag clouds, --> would love... In my experience there is scaling issues on using them with a relational db...
google maps --> for my current project I am using them allot... But it is quite allot of work to put them into a tag lib unless one was doing
pretty standard stuff. My current stuff uses allot of custom javascript... Maybe my project after I have to time to finish the cache project....

But it still would be nice to have a good grails demo app.

Which should be what base camp is to rails, Camelot is to Grails....

But what is Camelot....

It should not be a me-too product. But something original....

Additionally, it'd be interesting to develop some new taglibs and
widgets for things like tag clouds, google maps mashups, dedicated
services wrapper for digg, delicious, and such, login / security
scaffolding.
With all these things, Grails could become a nice platform for
experimenting with Web 2.0 ideas and mashups.
