+<p>We do offer Struts developers a choice, but, hey, choice is good. :)</p>
+<p>People who want to create and maintain Struts Classic are welcome to do so.</p>
+<p>People who want to create and maintain Struts Shale are equally welcome.</p>
+<p>As a volunteer organization, we are not constrained by the economics of competition. All we need are volunteers who are ready, willing, and able to do the work. So long as we have volunteers, we have work for them to do. :)</p>
+<p>Right now, we have volunteers who want to leverage the new JavaServer Faces framework by using Struts Shale for new development. We also have volunteers who prefer to leverage their existing investment in Struts Classic. All are welcome.</p>

+<section href="2x" name="Is Shale likely to become Struts 2.x?">
+<p>Struts Shale has its own identity and its own release cycle. Struts Classic is one subproject, and Struts Shale is another.</p>
+<p>So, no, it is not likely that Struts Shale will become Struts Classic 2.x.</p>
+<p>Right now, there are no concrete plans for a 2.x release of Struts Classic. The people working on the 1.x series want to evolve the code base without breaking backward compatibility.</p>
+<p>The reasons to roll the major version number are when</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>a new codebase is created, or</li>
+ <li>there is a break in backward compatability.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Should either of these things happen, then, in that event, there might be a Struts Classic 2.x.</p>
+<p>For example, right now, most everyone is using Java 1.3, so that it is what Struts Classic targets. But, if someone wanted to start a "Struts Tiger" codebase, using the new features of Java 1.5, something like that might be a candidate for Struts Classic 2.x.</p>
+<p>But, so long as each Struts Classic release follows the deprecate/replace/remove strategy, and targets the mainstream platform, we will just keep rolling the minor version number. If this takes us to Struts 1.42 or Struts 1.2025, then so be it.</p>
+</section>
+
+<section href="fork" name="Is Struts Shale a fork?">
+<p>No. It's an entirely new product with its own architecture. Struts Shale is an MVC framework for web applications, like Struts Classic, but it's a fresh start. Struts Shale is the best choice for developers eager to leverage the latest technologies, like JavaServer Faces.</p>
+<p>Both frameworks will have a home here so long as there are volunteers ready to contribute.</p>
+<p>We encourage you to choose the framework that works best for you. (Even if it is not one of ours!)</p>
