Resurrecting this old thread[1] as the topic came up related to the site changes. First message included for context below.
TL;DR: Konstantin and I had interest in new work on Standard, Henri has helped with logistics. No-one had any interest in RDC. A concern at the time was lack of progress toward a release but since then we released 1.2.1 in 2014/01 and recently 1.2.3. The 1.2 version has been picked up by some downstream projects; to my knowledge, it is the only implementation available under an Apache-style license. Rather than retire Taglibs now I would propose we attempt to reignite community interest which will require steps beyond simply maintaining 1.2.x. I’d propose the following: - Retire RDC to the Attic - Put Standard 1.2.x in maintenance mode for bug fixes only - Fix the sub-site so it’s easier to maintain - Start a tree/branch for new work without the limitations of the now-ancient 1.2 spec - Plan to release new work early & often Thoughts?
