As it stands, XWork is a "stealth" project using a beta/rc release system.

Working with XWork from Struts is problematic because

* There are no visible mailing lists that track project status

* There are no forums in which to discuss XWork 2 specific issues,
including the release roadmap and the quality of the development build

* Struts 2 is the only major consumer of XWork 2, and our releases are
needed to test XWork in production.

* The beta/rc system will always mandate at least one more Struts
release than a milestone system, since a GA candidate Struts release
must follow a final XWork release.

The simplest resolution would be for XWork to

* utilize its own set of lists and forums and lists, rather than
piggyback on WebWork.

* adopt the milestone release system used by Struts, iBATIS, Tomcat,
HTTPD, MySQL, and many other successful, productive projects.

Using a common milestone system will allow us to test both Struts and
XWork builds in production, and *then* judge the quality by how well
the software performs in the field.

Thoughts?
