Lincoln, you are a champion. This task was in the back of my mind, but since
we had so many different things going, I wasn't going to push it yet. Thanks
for the initiative!
I will put this on my list to review in the upcoming weeks. But don't wait
for me ;)

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:
