There are several people I would like to name as committers, but they just haven't contributed enough patches to get through the nomination process unscathed. There are reasons that there are criteria for committership. Most of which, it's more about community and less about getting the really smart people.
What good does it do to have talent that commits a patch or 2 and then leave for a year (or longer)?
It's funny to see committers (not just at Struts or even Apache) who think they have a say, but never participate in the actual community that makes the product what it is. I would say "you know who you are", but the people that immediately come to mind, don't pay attention to this list or, God forbid, the user list anyway. Oh well, sorry for bit#hing.

Subject: Re: Tiles and David Geary
On the chance that he does it here, can the Tiles sub project have it's own comitters that he can add easily? (Raible and them).

It would be great if David came back into the Struts fold to do that, since it's something we'd like to see too. There's no need for a fork. David is listed on the Struts "Who We Are" page as an Emeritus Committer, and can have his privs back just for the asking.

I'd really like to prevent a fork, especially a needless one.

David just bloged that he wants to fork tiles to separate Struts I think Struts deves have been looking for someone to develop Tiles, like taglibs subproject.
I suggest that DG be invited as a Struts committer in any case; and that if he wants to make an idenepndet tiles, he be offer resource to create a sub project of tiles, that works w/o Struts. Win/Win. Dev has been looking for somone to do tiles.
Since Struts is a top level project it can do this. .V -- RiA-SoA w/JDNC <http://www.SandraSF.com> forums - help develop a community My blog <http://www.sandrasf.com/adminBlog>
