I've taken the liberty to create a Wiki Book for the JavaServer Faces specification on the new <a href="http://jcp.org">jcp.org</a> site. A wiki book is no more than an organized collection of wiki pages...a distinct root so to speak.<br>
<br><a href="http://wiki.jcp.org/wiki/index.php?structure_id=6">http://wiki.jcp.org/wiki/index.php?structure_id=6</a><br><br>I began working on porting Red Hat's proposal list to the wiki, which is currently hosted at <a href="http://seamframework.org/Documentation/JSF2">http://seamframework.org/Documentation/JSF2</a> So far I can tell you that editing pages is **really** annoying. First of all, the TWiki syntax is nothing short of madding. I strongly recommend you disable it, because it's utter crap, and just use plain HTML (which has worked so well for so many years). I also found no way to disable the equally madding FCKEditor other than disabling JavaScript on my browser. Once I had a regular text area where I could type regular HTML, I was finally able to get something done. However, I am still extremely annoyed by the auto-linking of WikiWords. I cannot express how much I despise auto-linking. It makes the source look very ugly because you contantly have to put ~np~ symbols around words like UICommandLink (e.g., ~np~UICommandLink~/np~).<br>
<br>The idea of a wiki for the EG makes me very excited, but I can't say that I am 100% committed to porting our feature list over until I can get a bit more comfortable with its editor.<br><br>I encourage you all to give it a try by contributing some information you feel belongs on the wiki. Maybe I'm just being impatient at the moment. Or, perhaps we can give the maintainers some feedback so they can make it easier to use.<br>
