In the meeting on IRC yesterday we spoke at length about the CRUD
framework, I don't know if that discussion was written down anywhere
or put up on the wiki.  I know Dan Allen pretty much lead the
conversation.

Primarily, my message was that we had a lot of ideas floating around and consolidation was needed, followed by action ;) We mostly talked about:

1. Not coupling it with UI controllers (that's an orthogonal concern)
2. Home is a word which few people really get, we should pick something more applicable like EntityFacade or EntityCRUD
3. The query framework should provide an API which is technology agnostic, with implementations for JPA and others (room for JDO, nosql, REST)

4. We proposed renaming it to the Seam data framework, since the core features revolve around reading and writing entities/resources to persistence storage (i.e., data)
The UI controllers would likely be more suitable in the UI modules, such as faces and wicket
