Tim,
Finally I found some time to look at your documentation. I looks great!
Thanks a lot for your contribution! I am glad that you were able to put
some time into this. I always felt that good documentation is half the
rent for a project...

A few remarks:
- You changed the name of the VelocityStruts subproject to StrutsView.
  I actually prefer the original name. I feel Struts view is too generic
  and the connection to Velocity is lost. I always try to look at this
  from the point of view of a Struts developer who isn't much into the
  Velocity community. For him, the new name does carry the right info.
  Therefore, I propose we stick with the original name. BTW, the name
  VelocityStruts was the result of much discussion on the list.

- The documentation of the VelocityLayoutServlet is very hidden at the
  moment. Could this be made a little bit easier to find?

- Regarding the section on Model 1 vs. Model 2 in the VelocityStruts
  documentation: I would make this section part of the VelocityStruts
  User Guide. My original motivation for adding this section was NOT to
  educate people about Modell 1/2 designs in general but to make them
  aware of the fact that Velocity does not support model 1 designs. If
  you are considering to port a Model 1 JSP application to Velocity
  Struts you will be forced to redesign you application quite significantly.
  At the time I wrote this, I was help a friend to port his JSP application
  to Struts and Velocity. We ran into quite some redesign issues because
  his application was a mix of model 1 and model 2 design.

- Download: There is now a nightly snapshot available for download. This
  should be mentioned in the doownload sections everywhere.

How do you want to proceed? I guess the easiest would be that you send
me all the documentation files (not diffs) and I check them in from here.

prettier now. ;-)

FYI - the view/examples/simple/WEB-INF/lib/velocity-tools-view-0.8.jar
needs to be updated to include the latest build which contains the VLS.

Say - is there a better way to 'share' the libs between two examples
besides just copying them? (one for the simple VVS, a second .war for
the VLS)
