Sounds good, if you can create a good list (I guess you could pick them of the 'if I had a 1000 hours to give ..'), and find a way to sign up for it, and give credit back where credit is due. Also, if they have something they have developed, or something they want to develop, just let them contact the list, and ask for the person working in a particular field (eg. Musachy for Dojo integration, Nils-Helge for portlets, ..) to see if they can support them in any way. I would also find it very nice if a company could just send us an email with someone to contact to take care of a particular integration. Seeing how we have some troubles with Websphere, I would for example, appreciate it if IBM came around and said: "Here are the contact details for J. Smith - if there's a question or a problem regarding Struts on Websphere, just forward it to him, and he'll take care of it (for free - not for a 35 hour support contract ..)". Or at least work with us to find a solution. Maybe they could even sponsor someone to work on the docs or user mailing list (although I guess consultancy companies would regard that as shooting in their own foot). Seeing how your employer already supports the OS world, I think we could only wish other companies would show the same level of support. If I were a milionaire, I'd pay hire the three key devs and have them work on Struts 2, and find a couple of IDE devs to work on plugins for both Eclipse and IntelliJ (or NB). Note: since I'm not actually a millionaire, I can only guess what I would be thinking if I were one. It just as likely could be something like 'Meh, screw you guys, I'm off to St. Tropez with a bunch of bikini models'. Which would explain the absence of any sponsored key devs today. - Phil -- Software Architect - Hydrodesk "We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand." - Randy Pausch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
