Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Struts Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by DonBrown: http://wiki.apache.org/struts/WebWork2Incubator The comment on the change is: First cut at WebWork 2 proposal New page: = PROJECT PROPOSAL = !WebWork 2: A Java web-application development framework A proposal to merge the !WebWork 2 community and code with Struts to create the basis for Struts Action 2.0. = RATIONALE = The Struts project and Opensymphony's !WebWork 2 project have decided to merge in order to bring consolidation to the scattered web framework space. !WebWork was initially created by Rickard Oberg to improve on the ideas and functionality of Struts 1.0. Since then, it has released multiple significant versions, the latest of which, 2.2, brings advanced Ajax, templating, and Java 5 capabilities to its solid !WebWork 2 foundation. While traditionally the !WebWork and Struts communities have been competitors, recent movements to bring consolidation to the web framework market have inspired both projects to decide to work together by merging their projects. Struts has recently split its functionality into multiple subprojects, two of which, Shale and Action, represent two separate but equal web frameworks. The !WebWork 2 code will be brought into the Action subproject in the 2.0 branch. The !WebWork 2 developers are excited about becoming a part of Apache and collaborating on their common need for a solid, action-based MVC2 web framework. = INITIAL SOURCE = The initial source comes from the !WebWork 2 project and can be found here: http://cvs.dev.java.net in the webwork module = RESOURCES TO BE CREATED = * None (action SVN module and build systems already exist) = CRITERIA = == Meritocracy: == The !WebWork 2 community is a healthy meritocracy with plenty of developers. == Community: == The !WebWork 2 community is very strong with active mailing lists. https://webwork.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectMailingListList == Core Developers: == The core developers range from people who have been on the project for a very long time and people who are still new to the community. Contributions come steadily from all areas of the community. The two !WebWork 2 project leaders, Patrick Lightbody and Jason Carreira, have already been accepted as Struts committers, and several at least one Struts committer is a !WebWork 2 committer. Despite being used by many well-known corporations, !WebWork 2 has not received any direct corporate contributions. http://www.opensymphony.com/webwork/members.action == Alignment: == '''Not sure what goes here''' == License == !WebWork 2 is under the !OpenSymphony 1.1 license, a modified Apache 1.0 license. * 2001-2006 http://www.opensymphony.com/webwork/license.action = AVOIDING THE WARNING SIGNS = == Orphaned products: == !WebWork 2 will form the base of Struts Action 2.0 and is under heavy active development. == Inexperience with open source: == !WebWork 2 has been around almost as long as Struts. Most of the committers have a proven track record in open source at Opensymphony. == Homogenous developers: == There are developers from various companies: BAE Systems, '''Need list of companies''' == No ties to other Apache products: == !WebWork 2 uses several Jakarta Commons libraries and plans to share with Struts Shale where possible. == A fascination with the Apache brand: == We are moving to Apache to grow closer ties with Struts and other Apache projects. = COMMITTERS = Current Apache Committers * Patrick Lightbody * Jason Carreira * Don Brown Non-Apache Committers * Rene Gielen * tm_jee (Toby) '''Need full name''' * Rainer Hermanns * Ian Roughley * Alexandru '''Need full name''' = PROPOSED APACHE SPONSOR = * Struts = CHAMPION = * Don Brown * Martin Cooper '''???''' * Ted Husted --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
