To the "why is it named Shale instead of Struts" question ... I would
very much like it to be called Struts, but in the Apache development
culture that cannot happen until the committers agree that it *is*
Struts.  I have proposed that Shale indeed be adopted in that way, and
will continue to encourage it; the Struts committers have not (yet?
:-) accepted that part of the proposal, but have decided that Shale
deserves a home here as a formal subproject (instead of an ephemeral
"sandbox" thing that would have a harder time gaining traction because
people would wonder about its longevity).

A historical precedent for this idea was the way that the new servlet
container architecture (which ultimately became the container in
Tomcat 4) was introduced -- it was called Catalina (and that happens
to still be the package name), and was not allowed to be called
"Tomcat" until it was officially accepted by the Tomcat developers as
the selected architecture for Tomcat 4.
