FreeMarker3 Revival

[revusky]

I guess this is a message mostly for David Jones (though other people could be interested.)

First of all, sorry to be using this channel of communication. I sent you (David) an email over a month ago and I'm not sure it didn't end up in your SPAM folder.

It is about my attempts to revive FreeMarker development outside of ASF. I recently wrote a history of the FreeMarker project that puts all of this in perspective. I would also point you to this page and this one. Actually, to get a better idea of what I'm talking about, you could have a look here. That is a freemarker3 template that is used internally in CongoCC to generate lookahead routines. It uses the newer terse syntax and really does look cleaner than legacy FreeMarker templates.

Anyway, if anybody is interested in discussing this further, it might be best to sign up on the discussion forum here or start a discussion here I guess.
