[sakai2-tcc] JSF Upgrade for Sakai 2.9?

[Steve Swinsburg]

In favour of *anything else*, would be a good move.

I don't think we need to just pick one though, the great thing about Sakai 2 is we can use whatever we want. It can become a maintenance issue though, but with a little foresight and not choosing a UI tech that is at an evolutionary dead end, then those problems can be mitigated somewhat. Also, not abandoning projects is another way to keep on top of maintenance ;)

If we can upgrade JSF for 2.9 with minimal fuss then I reckon we do it. Then re-evaluate the lifespan of current JSF tools.

cheers,
Steve

At best, you might be able to select the top four or five, especially if we include the OAE in the discussion (JSON, etc).
