TODO

JEXL has been sitting around for some time (some might say, it has been languishing). A few projects (such as Jelly) use it, but more would use it if it were fully releases. Plus, components in commons proper should be released. So, let's make a release of JEXL sooner rather than later, here's the process:

• Code review for any outstanding issues - We need to give JEXL a once over to make sure there are no obvious outstanding issues or bugs that need fixing.
• Call for Comments - Once we are certain there are no outstanding issues, call for comments on commons-dev
• Cut a release
• Publish to Maven repo
  

So, some outstanding issues:

• Documentation
  • Syntax Page - We need a page devoted to syntax, preferably we'll have an explanation of the syntax and a big table with some examples.
  • Examples Page - Keep the small example on the front page, we'll need a quick page that reads like a small user's guide with a section demonstrating every usage situation.
  • Related Resources on Index Page - Develop this related resources section put some more links to Velocity resources.
