<br>
I'd like to start up a weekly Seam module spotlight. Basically, each<br>
week I'd like one of you to write up an article that we can publish on<br>
<a href="http://in.relation.to" target="_blank">in.relation.to</a> that shows off the best features of your module.<br>
Preferably the article would be use-case centric, as opposed to the<br>
feature-centric style that we generally write with in the reference<br>
documentation. For example, if I was writing a blog post about the<br>
persistence module I would make the point that if you're writing POJO<br>
beans to implement your business layer that I would not have transaction<br>
support by default, and that is where the transaction features of the<br>
persistence module come in. I'd also explain how it could be useful in<br>
other container environments, such as Tomcat or even Java SE.<br>
<br>
This style of writing is more likely to get your readers to a point<br>
where they understand why your module is as cool as we say it is, as<br>
they can relate its coolness in terms of real life use cases. Whereas<br>
explaining things from a feature point of view might leave some confused<br>
as to how they can actually *use* that feature in their own projects.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'm looking for a brave volunteer to go first. Ideally we'd get<br>
the first spotlight article published by the end of next week (before<br>
the 9th) so that should leave enough time to put together an informative<br>
article.<br>
