Hey, I'm out in the field too, dude! :) I don't earn my living writing frameworks. I'm paid to develop applications, just like most everyone here. The same goes for most of the other committers. We are you. Most anyone who builds more than one application, starts to build some type of personal framework. Rather than keep ours under a bushel basket, we build our frameworks in the light, so that we can exchange ideas and create a better framework together than any of us would have built apart. We're not trying to conquer the world or corner the market. We're trying to ship our own next batch of applications, year after year. We also build the documentation and website the same way. Based on some of the comments everyone made to this thread, and some others like it, I've added a top-level site FAQ to summarize. * http://struts.apache.org/kickstart.html Let us know if there is anything else should be clarified. (Preferably in the form of a patch.) The site FAQ is in addition to the Q&A that's been featured on the home page for several weeks now: * http://struts.apache.org/index.html#frameworks Once the Ti/WebWork proposal shakes out, I'm sure well update the home page Q&A to include it. But, right now, it's just a proposal. It looks like we are all in agreement, but we still have to prove our hypothesis with code. Since we are working engineers, and have to eat our own dog food, we are also from Missouri. :) * http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/history/slogan.asp -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
