The Weld archetype initiative has had a further reaching impact than just the community of developers interested in using CDI (via Weld). A recent blog entry on Sonatype cites the Weld archetypes as "the perfect case study of how using Archetypes benefits the community." Steven is acknowledged for his effort to identify the need of archetypes and ultimately get them promoted to Maven central for all to use.

Although archetypes are rather technically simple, it's important to recognize the impact they can have by starting people off on the right foot.
