I prefer it the way Ted has done it - IMO its a good way to promote ApacheCon and the Struts events. Plus this is only a temporary change for six weeks - we'll be reverting back once ApacheCon has finished - mid Dec. > Second, whether that happens or not, I really very much dislike seeing > the line "Shale: The Next Struts?" and the part about all the different > frameworks... why in the world should there be something that > essentially says "Thanks for your interest in Struts, it may be a waste > of your time in 6 months" as the first thing a new Struts developer may > see?

First of all that is the title of Craig's presentation at ApacheCon and thats what the item is communicating, Secondly, Shale is a Struts sub-project and an alternative option to Struts Classic - posing that question is valid IMO. Different people within this community will give different answers, but the question is still valid. Also seems like a good idea that anyone new to Struts should be aware there are different choices available. That way they can go evaluate which they prefer. Personally I'm still in the Struts Classic camp at this point in time, but thats because my day job has 4+ years worth of investment in it and I havem't had time to evaluate the alternatives yet.
