I'm talking about the former, and there's no debate. The latter is quite frequently out of sync with the former, especially in the US, but increasingly so in the UK as well, unfortunately.

Oh my gosh - I seriously hope people aren't learning their English from NME! ;-) But this is more than a little off-topic, so I'll shut up now, even if I am a stickler for this kind of thing. -- Martin Cooper Joe > -- > Joe Germuska > [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://blog.germuska.com > > "You really can't burn anything out by trying something new, and > even if you can burn it out, it can be fixed.

Re: [VOTE] Accept WebWork 2 Merger Incubator Proposal
Hi folks, I just joined your dev group and noticed the voting here in. I have looked at most of the AJAX frameworks and I have to through my 2 cents in here. Webwork is using DWR flavor of AJAX. In my experience this introduces more config settings and new syntax requirements on the client and server side. I have been writing AJAX applications since 2000 and the framework I came up with is absolutely transparent. No config files, No new syntax on server or client, full support for java.util.*. It doesn't have to get more complicated to be a better idea. If you are curious how I have done this bounce over to http://www.xoscript.org and read getting started (short read) or download the video tutorial that talks you through the point and click. Honestly When I wrote this I just wanted to write Java, JavaScript and html, not learn yet another framework. End of rant, Thanks for listening.

Unsurprisingly, my +1 Don Don Brown wrote: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/WebWork2Incubator = PROJECT PROPOSAL = WebWork 2: A Java web application development framework A proposal to merge the WebWork 2 community and codebase into the Apache Struts project. The new codebase is slated to become Struts Action 2. = RATIONALE = The members of the Apache Struts project and the members of the OpenSymphony WebWork 2 project would like to work together on a next-generation web application framework utilizing an action/request architecture. WebWork was initially created by Rickard Oberg to improve on the ideas and functionality of the Jakarta Struts framework. (Now known as the Apache Struts Action framework.) Since then, the WebWork community has continued to extend and refine the framework's capabilities through a long series of releases, the latest of which, 2.2, brings advanced Ajax, templating, and Java 5 capabilities to its solid WebWork 2 foundation. While, to date, the WebWork and Struts Action codebases have overlapped, recent movements to bring consolidation to the web framework landscape have inspired both communities to work together. Apache Struts has recently reorganized our codebase into multiple subprojects, two of which, Shale and Action, represent two separate but equal web frameworks. Struts Shale serves the nascent JSF community, while Struts Action serves the established JSP community. The WebWork 2 code would be brought into the Action subproject as the 2.x branch. The WebWork 2 developers are excited by the prospect of joining the ASF and collaborating to solve our common need for a solid, action-based MVC2 web framework. = CRITERIA = == Meritocracy: == The WebWork 2 community is a healthy meritocracy with multiple developers who do not share a common employer.
