Very nice job. I am extremely impressed with how 1.3 is organized.
Ted is totally right for saying 2006 is a "hotbed of activity" for
Struts :)

Some things to consider.

#1) The Development milestones haven't been updated since 1.2.6.
If you don't care about documenting anything else in 1.2.x, at least
split off 1.3.x into 1.3.3 and 1.3.x, so that the notes are official.
There's a couple of "TODO" items still listed there :)

Done

#2) Milestone page links to "Struts Classic Release Plan 1.3.0" which
I think is no longer a relevant proposal, as it is under the Relevant
Proposal section. We've consolidated all those libraries back into
one numbered version, haven't we?

Fixed.

#3) Consider listing links to the latest of previous GA releases
on the download page, one per minor-version:
    * General Availability (GA) Releases
          o Struts 1.3.3
          o Struts Scripting 1.0.1
    * Previous Releases
          o Struts 1.2.9
          o Struts 1.1
          o Struts 1.0.2
    * Alpha Releases
          o Struts Shale 1.0.2
    * Older Releases are available from the
          o Archive Site

#4a) Why do the Table of Contents for the User Guide
list out the release notes for all 1.1 version? Looks a bit
odd. I'd either remove them or add links to the other
versions. I'd prefer the latter.

Done

#4b) Page header is for 1.3.2.
#4c) Page title is 1.3.1.

Actually, once says "since 1.3.1", and the other 1.3.2, which is correct.

Thanks again for the feedback, and let us know if you see anything else.

#5) 40M is a hefty download. Here's a breakdown of each piece
in compressed size:
    * docs = 10MB
    * lib = 3MB
    * src = 6MB
    * webapp = 20MB

I hope there is a "lib" only version release too.
In fact, I would go even further and only include struts
libraries and no dependencies (1MB!). Spring does it this way. You
can download only the spring libraries, or the entire library
with all the dependencies (what we have now in this snapshot).
I vote for a struts-only lib artifact too.

Wendy is planning to roll the Struts Action 1.3.3 release tomorrow, and I think it is about time for a GA release. Since the last 1.3.2 beta release, we've: 
 - Cleaned up the website
 - Fixed 19 tickets (below)
 - Vastly improved the build and examples
We aim to be asking for GA for this next release, so please voice any concerns now so we can _finally_ push out a 1.3.x GA release. There are only 10 outstanding "bugs", five of which are Faces and the rest are minor and mostly unconfirmed and shouldn't hold up a GA release, in my opinion. If you feel differently, please let us know ASAP.

Thanks in advice,
