Also, if a question is answered, at least in theory you can say "Search the mail archive for post X" and thus preserving the knowledge.

+1 on staying away from IRC.

IMHO, IRC fragments the community we have on the lists. It also lessens the
pool of people who can answer any given question, for a variety of reasons.

Who's going to give authoritative answers to Tiles questions asked at 3am
French time? ;-)

I totally agree with you David.

I've collected an enormous amount of FAQ material (which I haven't organized
yet) from this and the users list over the last 6 or 7 months.

What good does it do to solve a really tricky problem if no one else can
take advantage of that knowledge transfer?

I'll be adding the new FAQ material and a few 'how to' sections soon. (for
example: How to setup Netbeans to step through and debug your web
application on Tomcat using Remote Debugging - a pictorial guide)

I for one, will not be answering questions on another
forum.  It's hard

enough to keep up with the questions on this list :-).  Also, I
think it's a
good that there be a central place to ask Struts questions.

Hi,

I've recently started hanging out in #struts on

irc.freenode.net to help

answer questions relating to the framework. I don't know

that much about

some of the esoteric areas of Struts, so I would really

appreciate it if

some of the developers would idle there and field the occasional
question.

Activity is very low, so the load shouldn't be too high.

If you think that this is a waste of time, let me know how

you'd improve

upon it. Sending people to mailing list archives doesn't

always work as

the search functionality isn't great.

Thanks for your time.

-Nick
