Whether or not Action 1 and 2 get their own link under frameworks, the Action 1 site needs work. Let's get things done rather than just talk about them :)

This particular decision needs more discussion before we can move
forward on it, but in the meantime, our Action 1 website is hard to
navigate and missing content.  If you are volunteering ;), you could
browse through it and make a list of recommendations on how it could be
improved from a user perspective.  If you are really ambitious, you can
checkout the action project and create patches for the docs
(subproject/src/site/xdocs), and even add entries to the FAQs.  I think
your root concern is it is hard for users to follow Action 1 and find
information, so I think improving the website would go a long way to
resolving this important observation.

I'm on a very tight schedule with my book work at the moment, but I should
be able to find at least some time this weekend, probably not before then
though.  However, before I do that...

Are you saying that it would be OK, at least from your perspective, to
break out Action1 as far as the site organization goes, even if it isn't
an officially recognized sub-project from a management prespective?  I
almost wonder if that might be worse...

To clarify my concern... your right, part of it is simply finding
information, and that's really pretty easy to solve, as you say, just some
web site mods should do it for the most part.  My larger concern though,
and why I was suggesting Action1 be officially a sub-project separate from
Action2 and Shale, is so that it can take on a life of its own and
continue to evolve separate from everything else (of course always sharing
where possible!), and that it is clear to everyone that that is the
plan... My understanding is that is already the intention and always has
been, but making it its own project makes it, I think, much clearer.  It
also perhaps allows people to focus more in contributing.

To be more concrete... on the web site, we have a Frameworks section,
currently listing Action Framework and Shale Framework.  What I would like
to see is three: Action1 Framework, Action2 Framework and Shale.  And
sure, I'll volunteer to do that work, but I would question whether that
should be done unless and until Action1 is its own official sub-project...
might it be mixed signals before that time?
