+2005 BOARD REPORTS
+
+
+October 2005
+
+The Struts community continues to make steady progress toward the 1.3.0
+release of "Struts Classic" and the 1.0.0 release of "Struts Shale", our
+offering for JavaServer Faces developers (JSR-127). We've added three new
+committers: Greg Reddin, Laurie Harper and Sean Schofield. Greg has been
+working on Standalone Tiles, Laurie has been working with on the Struts
+Classic release, and Sean is an Apache MyFaces committer who also been
+working on Struts Shale. We've moved our website and development
+infrastructure to Maven as our primary build, and the initial draft of our
+Mavenized website is online at struts.apache.org. Our nightly builds are
+now running on our Solaris 10 zone on helios. Active development is also
+taking place on our Standalone Tiles and Struts Ti efforts in the sandbox,
+including a substantial contribution to Struts Ti from the Beehive PageFlow
+folks.
+
+Members of our community have also been invited to particpate in two Java
+web framework working groups. One group, "Clarity", would like to create a
+best-of-breed framework that combines the features of Spring MVC, Struts
+Classic, Struts Ti, Beehive and WebWork. The "Java Web Alignment Group" has
+a similar charter, but they are trying to involve a broader range of
+frameworks. Both groups are still at the "hand waving" stage, and there is
+nothing concrete to report. The groups are already intermixing, and we hope
+the consolidation efforts will themselves consolidate. :)
+
+The underlying issue is that there is not a clear migration path to JSR-127
+from frameworks like Struts Classic. Since many teams have several years of
+development vested in "classic" frameworks, it may be some time before the
+new formal standard displaces the entrenched de facto standard. These
+working groups would like to consolidate the classic frameworks so as to
+clear the road toward "next generation" web applications.
+
+Despite these "interesting times", the Struts community remains united and
+amicable. Some of us are "scouting ahead" with Strut Shale and Struts Ti,
+while others trudge along with Struts Classic, but we all share the same
+path.
+
+--
+
+July 2005
+
+This has been another busy quarter in the Struts community. Progress is
+being made towards a 1.3 release of Struts "Classic", and work is
+continuing on Struts Shale. The Tiles component is in the process of being
+transformed into a Struts-independent package.
+
+On the people front, Wendy Smoak has joined us as a committer, and we are
+in the process of adding Gary VanMatre. We are also in the process of
+adding Hubert Rabago as a new PMC member, being in the 72 hour waiting
+period at the time of writing.
+
+--
+
+April 2005
+
+This has been a busy quarter in the Struts community. We have completed
+the refactoring of the Subversion repository into subprojects, and added a
+new master build system using Maven. Two new subprojects have joined the
+fold; Struts Shale is an alternative approach to web applications based on
+JSF, and Struts Flow allows complex workflows to be implemented using
+JavaScript. Our first proposal for a Struts subproject written in C#,
+named OverDrive, has been introduced in our sandbox area.
+
+On the people front, in addition to the change of PMC chair, one new
+committer, Hubert Rabago, accepted an invitation to join us, and we
+welcome back David Geary from emeritus to active status.
+
+--
+
+January 2005
+
+The last three months have seen renewed interest and vigor about
+moving Struts forward in technology terms. Now that we have moved
+our source code repository to Subversion, we are leveraging the new
+capabilities to reorganize our source code into separately deliverable
+artifacts (rather than one large "wad-o-stuff"), to be managed
+as subprojects which can be released on their own schedules. This
+will enable us to be more responsive to the user community's desire
+for timely releases, without having to coordinate one monster release.
+In addition, work is underway to rationalize the build architecture
+around Maven.
+
+Technically, Struts 1.x continues to evolve in a manner that is
+fundamentally backwards compatible, but which leverages new internal
+techniques (such as the Chain of Responsibility design pattern) that
+will make customization and specialization much easier. At the same time,
+experimental development around a fresh look at web application
+architectures is also taking place in the form of "Shale", a
+JSF-based framework, being proposed as an alternative to Struts 1.x.

+We have started a reorganization of our repository. The goals of the
refactoring
+are to better support subprojects with their own release cycles and building
+Struts with Apache Maven.
-----
-
--PMC Actions-
+An initial draft of the reorganization is being done under Subversion on a
+private server, with all discussions taking place on the public DEV list. We
will
+be ready to move the work to an Apache server soon, now that we have a
+consensus in favor of Subversion and Maven.
-* Opened 1.3.x series, featuring a significant refactoring of Struts internals.
+We completed a draft of Apache Struts bylaws and developer guidelines, which
+is available at <http://struts.apache.org/bylaws.html>.
-* Launched Struts Scripting subproject.
+There was a discussion on the DEV list regarding the "bar" for Committership.
+The consensus is to keep the bar set fairly high and wait until a contributor
has
+submitted a good number of useful patches directly to Struts.
-* Launched reorganization of codebase into discrete subprojects.
+Our latest stable release is still 1.1 (29 June 2003). We issued a 1.2.1
release
+on 11 July 2004, which is currently catagorized as a beta. We anticipate 1.2.1
+(or a 1.2.2) being promoted to GA over the next 30 days.
-* Migrated the repository to Subversion.
+June 2004
--Significant threads-
+-PMC Actions-
-* Discussions continue as to partitioning the codebase into multiple
subprojects.
+* Niall Pemberton is elected as a Struts Committer.
-* Several discussions compared the evolution of the Struts 1.x codebase with
revolutions like Struts Shale.
+* Two new subprojects (our first) are approved. One that utilizes BSF
+ so that "Actions" can be scripted rather than expressed as Java
+ code. Another is a port of Cocoon's Control Flow to
+ Struts. Infrastructure details are being addressed. The initial code
+ for both projects were developed by a Struts PMC member, Don Brown,
+ who is filing a code grant to the ASF. Both codebases are ready for
+ release testing.
-* The PMC discussed the release process and created a checklist to outline the
process.
+-Significant threads-
+* Compiling Struts from source and running the Cactus tests continues
+ to be a challenge for some developers. Completing the move to Maven
+ should help.
-Releases-
-* Stable release: 1.2.4 (19 Sep 2004).
+* Stable release: 1.1 (29 June 2003).
-* Beta release: 1.2.6 (12 Dec 2004)
-
-* A 1.2.7 release is anticipated to complete the 1.2.x series. As to 1.2.6, a
bundled taglib package, struts-el, is not in synch with changes to the core
taglib package).
+* Next anticipated release: 1.2.1
+* Anticipated time-frame (if any): Awaiting stable release of a
+ dependency (Commons Validator).
-Roadmap-
- * Struts 1.2.x will remain based on Servlet 1.2/JSP 1.1 (maintenance).
-
- * Struts 1.3.x is based on Servlet 1.3/JSP 1.2 (evolution).
-
- * Struts 1.3.x introduces the "Struts Chain" request processor. Some
packages, like the taglibs, will be released as separate subprojects.

-
--Recent Changes-
-
-* The build system is being revised to support subprojects.
-
-* Struts Scripting is available as a prerelease distribution.
-
-* The repository is being restructured to support subprojects.
+* Struts 1.3.x will introduce the "Struts Chain" request
+ processor. Some packages, like the taglibs, will be released as
+ separate subprojects.
-* Struts Shale is available in the sandbox area. Shale is based on JavaServer
Faces. The code is at a late prerelease stage.
+* Struts 2.x will be based on Servlet 2.4/JSP 2.0 (revolution).
-* Changes continue to Struts Faces in anticipate of a 1.0.0 release.
-
-* See also: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/release-notes.html
+* The Apache Struts repository will be rationalized to accomodate
+ subprojects and Maven once a stable Struts 1.2.x release is available.
+ Subprojects will be the unit of release. Each subproject will be a
+ distinct Maven "artifact". Pending this step, the website and
+ repository remain under jakarta.apache.org.
