Dear JSF Spec Users,

 As you may have seen in the Java EE 8 survey, there was significant interest in adding an MVC framework to the platform in EE 8. After much internal debate, we've decided the best place for this work is in JAX-RS.next.

 I'm the spec lead for JAX-RS and Ed asked me to pop in here and invite you over to the mailto:users_at_jax-rs-spec.java.net where we are planning to have our discussions. I'd like to preserve the momentum from the thread that was started by Arjan back in February [2] and had discussions through until April [3]. Our plans for JAX-RS MVC include using Facelets and JSP as well as support for Flows, ViewScope and FlashScope. Ed will have more to say about the JSF side of these things.

 Hope to see you there!
