MyFaces Quarterly Report April 2015
The Apache MyFaces project is an umbrella project of the Apache Software Foundation
for projects relating to the JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology.
The MyFaces community is stable. Besides working on new releases, we discuss upcoming topics.
-> Community business as usual (nothing special to report).

Issues
The TCK issue mentioned in our January report for 2014 still exists. Werner Punz[1] and Leonardo Uribe[2] discussed the impacts of this issue and the impacts are summarized as follows:
- reduces our marketability, since consumers are more likely to pick an open-source JSF implementation certified as
"TCK-compliant" over a non-certified one. - reduces our ability to be distributed as part of a J2EE stack, such as TomEE and Geronimo, since their TCK certification depends upon our TCK certification.
