Part of the message was lost on the way. Here is (hopefully) the complete
one.

I am concerned that the next version of WebWork (or XWork) will be built in
a sandbox mode. I hope the sandbox is just a place to try things and design
stuff. When features and ideas are stable enough they should be brought into
the actual code base in a 'refactor the code' way. WebWork's code has been
exercised for quite a while. Therefore, it can be considered mature and
probably contains a low number of bugs and should be the base IMHO to move
forward.

While I am at it and decided to post to WebWork's mailing list, here are
some opinions.

WebWork's name should remain WebWork for two main reasons IMO. Primarily
because it is a framework to build WEB APPLICATIONS. It just happens to be
generic enough so that people building WEB APPLICATIONS using WebWork can
use it also to extend their application (message driven commands, other
types of client, ...) and may be reuse some code. The second reason is that
WebWork's name starts to be recognized.

I really hope to soon seen release plans with concrete features. 1.4 and may
be 1.5 could include bug fixes and small features that do not break backward
compatibility. Then 2.0 could include larger feature and some that breaks
backward compatibility (but please provide a clear migration path or even
better a migration tool).

Guys, please use Jira, it is a much better tool to plan releases and move
forward than some of the pointless discussions that occured lately on the
mailing list.

just my 2c
