Well, the Struts NG reference in my mail was meant to recall our naming discussions when the merger between Struts and WebWork took place. We decided against it, and I think it's too late now to go that way - what came out as Struts 2 was actually the "Next Generation", something breaking - now we're improving "only" :) I don't recall exactly if I was for or against "Struts NG" as one of the supposed names, but nowadays I think we should have been better off choosing a name without a version tag (not necessary NG). That is what the PS was really about...
We made "Struts 2" a brand, the basic question seems to be - do we want to rebrand or not? If we do rebrand, I think the logical way is to call it "Struts 3". But we have to be aware that this causes some other problems. Is a Struts 2 book good for learning Struts 3 (yes, not comparable to Struts 1 vs. Struts 2). What do people find at Google? Will they search for Struts 3, Struts 2 or both to find useful information (a lot of information for Struts 2 will still apply for 3). Do we need new Logos? And there is even more if you dig deeper, I guess. - René Am 18.10.11 00:03, schrieb Johannes Geppert: > I agree to Łukasz we should follow the MAJOR.MINOR.MAINTENANCE.PATCH scheme, > because this is what the users understand and expect. > > But maybe we should also think about a new Brand like Struts NG like > suggested by Rene. > Because many developers and media associate with the Brand Struts the old > Struts 1 version. > > I don't know if "Struts NG" is the right name for the new brand but we > should not use a version number in the brand. > > Johannes > > ----- > web: http://www.jgeppert.com > twitter: http://twitter.com/jogep > -- > View this message in context: > http://struts.1045723.n5.nabble.com/Deprecate-2-1-version-tp4894635p4913127.html > Sent from the Struts - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
