Hi Mike,

I had already started to look into the calendar issue, feel free to take that over, though.  I posted a message here (although it must be moderated since I don't see my post):

    http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-publishers/msg/6d9b82c31a7edbee

I found this post from here:

    http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-publishers/browse_thread/thread/84571faa7d382b46

I'm not sure there's much we can do until Google fixes it.

Sorry about the meeting.  I waited about 10 minutes and gave up.  Many people (at least 4) that normally would call in were unable to today b/c of vacation and workload.

CVS:

    cd <your jsftemplating directory>
    cvs update         <--- this will update your directory with latest files.
    edit file
    cvs commit <filename>      <-- this will publish your changes
    cvs help         <--- This will show you other options

Thanks!

Ken

Just sharing this email conversation between Ken and myself with the rest of the group. I wanted to talk about this at the meeting, but I called in late and nobody was there. So, I'm going to start on adding the links Ken gave me here. It looks like the calendar is still not appearing on the Website, so I am going to look into that as well. Can somebody refresh my memory about the commands needed to update a CVS directory?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Ken,

Are we having a meeting tomorrow? If so, you may want to send out a reminder, because google calendars appears to be down.
Ok, thanks for letting me know... reminder sent.
i've also gone over the JSFT website. Here are some questions/observations on the tutorials and set ups.

1) Is "sun:" always the prefix for components? If not, where is the code that handles setting the tag prefix?
No... the annotation in the "factory" file specifies this.  The "sun:" components are the "Woodstock" components.  There is some mapping facility implemented in JSFTemplating, however, only the Facelets syntax currently supports this... we need to implement this in the "template" syntax as well.
2) Facets really should be better explained. Maybe even a link to an online source outside of java.net would be a good idea.
Facets or Facelets?  I agree, we can and should link to info on both.
3) Event and Handlers needs A LOT of work. It doesn't come close to explaining to a novice how and why s/he should use these.
Yes, I agree... Leonid Lamburt recently provided an HTML page that begins to explain the difference between handlers, we still don't have anything that explains the advantages and when/why you'd use an event.

    https://jsftemplating.dev.java.net/doc/eventsHandlersList.html
4) Finally, for developers on the JSFT project, it would be good to have an area that talks about the project architecture including the important classes.
Yes again! :)
In the future, should I be sending these sort of emails directly to the developer list?
Yes, that would be fine... others can then reply and send in their opinions as well.

Thanks!

Ken
