For me voting does not mean "obligation" of support, but "moral obligation". Sincerely I see the terms "volunteer" and "obligation" as contradicting themselves. If I am a volunteer, this means that I am working with no money for it, and no one forces me to work on it. This does not mean that I am not willing to help: the day that I cannot help, I will tell the community and retire myself. It's just "trusting" ourselves. If we were SpringSource, we were paid to work on Spring: in this case I see the obligation of supporting the release (paid or not). Moreover, many of us know only a little piece of the frameworks: first of all there are two main classes, the S1 and S2. And among these classes many of us know only a little bit of these frameworks. For example, I mainly try to help on building Struts 2 and on Tiles integration in S2 and S1. Many of us do not know _how_ to help in certain cases (for example I don't know how to help on the portlet plugin). At Tiles we removed this obligation, and I agree with this decision. Ciao Antonio
