And all of those $project sites are under oversight of the Jakarta PMC.  There
is no such thing as a "jakarta sub-project based" PMC.

Although I'm  sympathetic to the idea that Jakarta sub-projects who then become
TLPs might want to maintain their jakarta.apache.org/$project web site for
brand identification purposes, I'm concerned about the potential for external
confusion over "who's in charge here".  The reality would be that the Jakarta
PMC would (correctly) *not* think they had management over that subdirectory of
the site, but the legal distinction would be very likely missed by anyone who
is visiting.

If/when Struts becomes a TLP, I'm going to recommend that we do exactly what
Ant, James, and Maven (for example) did:

* Maintain a link on the Jakarta home page under "Related"

* Install a webserver redirect from <http://jakarta.apache.org/struts>
  to <http://struts.apache.org>.
