True. If those "larger entities" had any say, we wouldn't be merging with WebWork. If anyone wanted proof that we are making our decisions based on community, rather than the agenda of a "larger entity", there it is. > This is where I do happen to disagree with you Ted.

No. The people you mention should take on the greater responsibility of contributing to the project and doing what they can to make Apache Struts a continued success. * http://struts.apache.org/helping.html As an ASF project, we have the responsibility of encouraging and nuturing new collaborators and building a collaborative development community around our software. If people find the sofware useful, it's their responsibilty to return the favor and help us in any way they can. Deciding what is best for other people is a job better left to the "larger entities". Our role is to create the frameworks that we want to use to build our own applications, and share the wealth, best we can. Right now, this year, for me, that framework is Action2. But, who knows, next year, I could be working on a JSF project. And, if I am, I'll be glad to find a Struts Shale framework here, ready for me to use. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
