These are not "camps" of a framework but competing frameworks. That is the bottom line. Struts is dying and you guys, Gary, are killing it. Why not man up and get your own space and try to survive on your own?

I can think of several people that I feel have been worthy contributors but we have been very conservative. The SAF camp has recently been very active in recruiting anyone showing interest. I don't have a strong opinion either way. I remember someone saying that they have precious little time and I sympathize. Making this happen is really a team effort and you have to pick your battles. Even though I have not made the time to evaluate the latest in the action camp, I truly enjoy the exchange of ideas. If we continue to share a single community, I don't think that it is wise to force both camps into a single shoe box. On occasion we might want to get funky mixing styles but most like to play it safe, after all, it's about the right context.
