I would really suggest a binary distro and a source distro... looking at
WW2.2.2, unzipped it's 86MB, 55MB of which is the src directory alone.
I dare say most people who download Struts are not immediately
interested in the source, so it seems wasteful (think bandwidth for
instance, time for another) to make them get the source too. I think
including the sample apps is fine, but including the source doesn't seem
so to me.

For now, I'd suggest a WW2-like distribution, that includes
everything. We may want to add a library JAR distribution later, but
for a x.0.0 release, it doesn't need to be a priority.
One way or another, the S2 wiki will end up as static HTML. Pier's
plugin is looking good, but we need a slick way to get the HTML from
machine to machine. (Hmmm, I wonder if we could extend the plugin to
create a downloadable ZIP or WAR/JAR? -- And, I also wonder if we
could release that download as a Maven artifact?)

The S2 distribution has another twist in that the QuickStart code
includes Jetty. One idea might be to have QuickStart and
non-QuickStart distributions. With QS, a full WW2 distribution runs
50mb, where our 1.2 binary distribution is now running 13mb.

Any thoughts on what you want the Struts 2 distribution to look like?
The two examples I have to work from are
Struts 1, which has a combined source and binary distribution
(including the example apps) plus a companion "library" distribution
with only the jars and dependencies, and
Shale, which also uses the combined source and binary idea, but no
'library' assembly, and each example app has its own separate
distribution.
I have no idea how to get the documentation from Confluence included,
but I can at least do source code and jars/wars. (Is anyone else
already working on this?)
