As I have told a couple of people, I'm going to be on vacation for a
couple of weeks starting tomorrow (Monday June 25) evening.  It is very
unlikely that I will have email contact during most of that
time.  I will be available again on July 11.

Therefore, I'm great with adding some additional committers and starting
work on the TODO list in the 1.1 tree.  I've also asked Ted Husted to
create a "contrib" directory at the top-level (in the 1.1 branch) and 
manage the posting of other contributions that have not yet been
integrated into the Struts main codebase.  (If there is a high volume of
this, we might want to create a "jakarta-struts-sandbox" repository for
such things, analogous to what several other Jakarta projects have done.

A couple of notes about the 1.0 tree (i.e. STRUTS_1_0_BRANCH):  I
anticipate that we will probably need to do a 1.0.1 release at some point,
to clean up any issues that are discovered.  However, we should be
cautious about what gets checked in here, focused on bug fixes only (as
Rob did on the <html:errors> tag fix).  It's probably time to start a
RELEASE-NOTES-1.0.1 document there as well.

By the way, I want to thank all of you for your interest in the future
development of Struts.  The high quality of the 1.0 release owes a lot to
the number of people who have contributed ideas, testing, patches, code,
and (most importantly) energy and enthusiasm.  I'm very excited about the
future -- and now is a wonderful opportunity to expand the number of
active developers on the project so that I don't become (or remain :-) a
bottleneck to progress.
