Objectives for Tiles in the Sandbox
The objectives of the Struts2 Sandbox is to contain experimental codebases that might not go anywhere while at the same time allowing for innovation. The following objectives were placed upon tiles when it entered the sandbox
- Demonstrative activity and community
- Evolve to be independent of struts
Tiles has met both of these objectives.
Practical Reasons for Graduation
In addition to meeting the original objectives of the sandbox, graduation is being proposed at this point in time due to the following:

- Promotion from the sandbox will provide more visibility and a broader user base.
- Promotion from the sandbox will help determine answers to many critical questions which will help determine the final home of Tiles.
