[seam-dev] A new module lead for Seam Faces

[Dan Allen]

Team,

I'm pleased to announce that Brian Leathem [1] has stepped forward to take
the module lead role for the Seam Faces module [2]. With Lincoln hard at
work on Forge and a vast portion of my time dedicated to interfacing with
the community, coordinating work across modules, and advocating for Seam,
Seam Faces became somewhat neglected. Brian is one of the community members
that brought this situation to our attention and we are glad that came
forward with a solution in hand.

While we shouldn't be shy to explore integrations with other UI
technologies, such as Wicket and Tapestry, JSF remains a critical part of
the strategy of Seam because of it's popularity, ubiquity and large
ecosystem. I'm hopeful that Brian will identify the areas where we can make
JSF more palatable, robust and developer-friends. There are a lot of ideas
to port from Seam 2 and new avenues to explore. Please help him by bringing
ideas forward and sending pull requests [3] that turn them into them a
reality.

I'd like to conclude by thanking all of the module leads for driving the
innovations in Seam, especially the leads from the community. We enjoy
working together (I hope), but most important we should be proud that we are
creating something useful that benefits each of us and the greater
community.

-Dan
