We also need to get a wiki page together than explains to someone step-by-step how to build Seam 3 and start hacking on it (one that is up to date). I don't mind putting it together, or working with a community member on it, but first I need to know what I'm writing.
Again, don't mean to pressure, I'm just saying that I have people e-mailing me asking to get started, and I have to tell them to just wait.

Shane and Pete,
I like the new structure, it makes a lot more sense. However, this is one major problem. During the restructuring, the seam-parent got nuked. I don't see it anywhere, so I'm going to assume it was an oversight.
As we try to get this thing off the ground, I think there is one crucial aspect that needs to be resolved first and foremost (which I think is what you were implying, Pete, in your last response). We need to get a solid seam-parent and seam-bom (or whatever the version matrix now called). I'm looking at Weld and I can't figure out how that maps back to Seam. Here is one approach:
build/trunk/parent/pom.xml
build/trunk/bom/pom.xml
But I don't know if that's how you want it.
Ultimately, the modules should have a pom which looks something like:
<project>
<parent>
<groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>
<artifactId>seam-parent</artifactId>
<version>1</version>
</parent>
...
<groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>
<artifactId>seam-XXX</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>3.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
...
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.seam</groupId>
<artifactId>seam-bom</artifactId>
<version>${seam.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencyManagement>
....
</project>
This needs to be resolved or I can't bring contributors into the project because I just don't know what to tell them to do. And we have contributors waiting at the door. The time is ripe ;)
