depends on what you want.

Nice idea - thou the practicalisites of doing so is not yet here (thou
there is an attempt to start the trend with a new project "commons"). The
main reason is that the cost of communication atm is higher than the
expected returns of cooperating.
IMHO (ie I doubt it is shared by others and I are not involved in any of
these projects ;]) turbine should fracture a little into different
products. Basically break apart each layer of turbine into more modular
components. Then struts/cocoon2 (from xml.apache.org) should base their
applications on the core of turbine.
Jetspeed is something that is built on top of turbine (and C2???) while
velocity is something that can be used in conjunction with turbine (or
not). I am not really sure whats struts is but my guess is jsp-specific
framework (where turbine is general servlet-framework).
Cheers,
Pete
