[jsr-314-open] [ADMIN] JSF Wikipedia Page

[Lincoln Baxter III]

I've taken the liberty of updating the JSF page on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaServer_Faces 

I don't know how many of you have read it, but it was atrocious:
horrible grammar, entire paragraphs that added almost no value (or
should have been included in a section for "details nobody needs to
know,") and generally too much text that said too little.

Notably, I removed the comparison to other frameworks because it was
rather uninformative (save the .net version) These features can be
pulled back in, if we deem them to be accurate and beneficial to the
audience (which on wikipedia, should be considered, "interested
academics and business researchers",) so such a comparison may be
valuable, but I assert that we should re-evaluate the manner in which is
it done. The focus should be on JSF, not the other frameworks. (This
section was almost as long as the rest of the article.)

I've moved the focus from JSF1 to JSF2, while still keeping some
references to JSF1 functionality. JSF2 is the new standard, and I've
made that clear. 

Please feel free to add/update - it is our responsibility as the experts
to make sure that the correct knowledge is on here. My focus is on
clarity and understanding, but if someone more technical wants to
elaborate on anything I've done, or add new information, go ahead, and
I'll try to make sure it lays out well and flows intuitively.

You can see all my changes here:
