I think that the Struts Appications project on SourceForge is definitely different than what I was talking about. Whatever one thinks of making coding options available and how to do it, what I was talking about is significantly different than SourceForge although obviously not totally unrelated with anything to do with Struts, including SourceForge. >We (or at least I ;) don't want to accumulate a bunch of > different sample apps within the Struts project itself, Definitely not. I thought I was clear that would be a bad idea. I am not sure why you made this the focus, Martin. The focus was totally different. There surely are hundreds of options besides the Struts distribution and SourceForge, and some of those options with Struts. >because (a) > the code in the apps would quickly overwhelm that in Struts itself; Again, I specifically said this was a bad idea. > (b) we would effectively be signing up to maintain them all, which I'm > personally not up for; Again, this would not be the issue.

This is what I said I was not talking about. Just seeking clarity here.

I just want to make sure that their opinions are on the topic as raised and not on the topic as you have addressed it. As I said, I too am against what you say you are against. I think anyone capable of a modicum of lucid thinking would be. However, this still leaves the issue about what I was talking about unaddressed. There should be a way to accommodate sharing good ideas without putting them into the mainstream of a Struts distribution.
