Ted, I just setup the requested forums for XWork: http://forums.opensymphony.com/category.jspa?categoryID=19 Next step is to setup the mailing lists. We still use the java.net infrastructure for our mailing lists. I need karma to add those mailing lists and setup (Pinging Jason/ Patrick for

Where would these mailing list/forum/chat/.. be located ? I can create an XWork forum over at OpenSymphony in a moment, but I think we need Patrick to set up the mailing list (but we can sync to an apache mailing list as well). Would it be better to go for XWork 2 or an XWork forum in general ? Wi

I am willing and spending lots of my free time on Struts 2, XWork and (still) WebWork 2.2.X. to bring this projects to high quality products as lots of the other developers are doing, but I need more feedback to get more of the envolved developers in. There are some open issues in Jira where I cal

Happy new year guys. :-) WebWork just like any other open-source project follows the open-source spirits. It is very much driven by the community itself. Features are often implemented when they are substantial enough, it doesn't matter if it originated from users, commiters or the project lead

To fight philosophy with philosophy ;), the goal of Struts 2 has been pretty much the same since we started: to simplify web development to create a more developer-friendly framework. We've been following the Struts Ti plan [1] roughly since late 2005. WebWork was brought on board as it was t

First of all Happy New Year to everyone! and then a bit of a philosophical email - something related to previous post by Rainer and something that bothered me for the last couple of months. Before the merge, I was spending a lot of my spare time contributing to WW and on the XWork side along

As a first follow up, happy new year to everyone. As Pat mentioned, the infrastructure at OpenSymphony does not have the rules and bounds Apache has. I have no problem to release milestones, dot releases or the like, but I want to achieve that certain issues are fixed and targets were reached for

Ted, Your suggestions all sound very reasonable. Rainer and I would be happy to help set this up (I can do the forums/infrastructure, and I'm sure Rainer can help by giving releases more compatible version numbers in the future). ---

At one point wasn't there talk of bring xwork into the apache fold. Is that still an option or is that off the table? It seems to me that since xwork is such a critical piece of struts2 that it should be part of apache and not opensymphony. Then xwork would be forced to follow the apache pro

[S2] XWork Status Quo

2006-12-31 Thread Ted Husted
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 th
