Right now, we're exploding the struts-documentation WAR to create the Web site.
We've been trying to keep the latest release front-and-center, mainly because we seem to have a large base of professional teams that cannot use unreleased software. How about if we start to carry a copy of the documentation for the latest formal release -AND- the nighly build on the Website. The nightly build could be on top, but have an absolute link to the documentation for the prior release on the Website (jakarta.apache.org/struts/1.0.1/...). This way people who want to scope the current release first (since that's the one they would have to propose today), can get easy access to that, but we still have the latest and greatest out-front. We also need to be scrupulous about marking new code and documentation with @since statements. I've started to fix these as I find them, and will continue to do so. I've got a start on the release notes, and then will look updating the User Guide from those. I've also started a News and Status page in the nightly build, and will continue to work on that. This will supply the material for the new Jakarta newsletter. -Ted. Ted Husted wrote: > > Craig R. McClanahan" wrote: > > > p.s. I saw the other thread on the multi-app support you checked in.
