Maybe ask the web for new Open source contributors?

TomEE does that and they do at least translations of docs and samples.

TCK is of course ways harder.

Yes, although technically it's not even super hard. It's more that the obscurity of the TCK makes it hard to get into, and hard to run and debug each test individually.

We had some very good contributions from the community to help in converting the spec document, but can we find enough people to convert thousands and thousands of tests?

 

Not sure...

What about ManagedBeans? How many tests (in %) uses it?

A careful estimation is that it's about the same as tests using JSP.

 

Im almost also sure that noone runned the TCK for MyFaces since some years. We have over 1600 unittests which are facelets only and also uses CDI.

Maybe we should make a choice here and create a new TCK based on those tests and the Mojarra tests, with a selection of tests taken from the existing TCK which we are reasonably able to convert?

Kind regards,

Arjan Tijms
