The basic filter architecture, and ViewController, are reasonably cooked in my mind -- but we won't know for sure until some people try to build real apps with it. I'm less concerned about the functionality part of this (it's got unit tests that prove the right event handlers get called at the right time) than I am about the usability from a developer's perspective. If it becomes so easy to right event handlers for individual pages that you pretty much forget everything you know about the servlet API, then we've got it right :-). The DialogController stuff, on the other hand, should not be assumed to be stable. However, it's also an area I'd love to hear some feedback on. That all being said, Shale is currently a pre-1.0 API, and you can't assume API stability yet -- we only get one chance to freeze that for 1.0, and I want to be as certain as possible that it meets the needs, from both functionality and usability viewpoints. As to when it will go 1.0 -- not *until* there's enough feedback to demonstrate that the solution is viable :-).
