Okay I've found the place to go for all things Shale but my other two
questions still stand.
first, a disclaimer: I've never written a JSF app let alone a Shale app.

Roughly, Shale is to JSF as Struts is to JSP: it provides a framework
which supports best-practices application development with features
that are outside of the scope of the basic Sun technology.
If you're going to use JSF, you should probably check out Shale.
You can use struts-faces to connect JSF to Struts, but if you have no
deep Struts experience, you wouldn't be gaining much of anything, and
in fact you'd lose all the benefits that Shale has by virtue of
learning from several years of Struts development experience.
Secondly, where can I find out more? And finally how steep is
the learning curve? There doesn't appear to be the Shale equivalent of
http://struts.apache.org
I'm not sure what the second question was: about the learning curve?
I'm not the one to answer that. But since Shale is a subproject of
Struts, there is no "shale.apache.org"
Since there has not been a full release of Shale, the struts-dev list
is generally considered the more fruitful place for discussions about
it.
Hope this helps,
Joe
