It is correct that anyone can make such a proposal. It is also correct to recognize that existing committers represent the only binding votes on technical matters like "what should Struts 2.x look like" -- PMC-member votes are required only fo releases. That means, at the moment, that you have 22 people to lobby. Feel free to announce whatever you want wherever you want. Any formal vote, however, would be called on the Struts Developer list (and must be called by an existing committer to be relevant, so you'd better plan on recruiting at least one committer to make the formal proposal in the first place). Thanks again Ted, assuming anyone can make such a proposal, I think this > is an excellent post and I for one very much appreciate it! > > Frank Craig
