I'm all for that - just have _no_ time to contribute to such an effort right now.
That's another problem with OSS. We have an FAQ on the site; if you want to add info to it just open an enhancement request with patches. Personally, I'm busy fixing Struts bugs and documentation is lower on my to-do list.

Shen,
I agree that learning struts "best practices" can be a long process. Just keep in mind you can't learn everything right now - the experts on this group have been working with struts much longer than you and I. I know much more than I did a week ago, and two months ago, I barely knew what struts was!
Debugging and "wasting time" is a part of learning any new technology - if you've programmed before, you know this. Many of the questions posed on this group have been asked before, but it's sometimes difficult to sort through the archives and existing documentation, I agree.
An issue with open-source software is that the documentation is often what the users themselves create. Someone else a week or so ago talked about trying to make a list of common problems and their solutions to add to the FAQ. I'm all for that - just have _no_ time to contribute to such an effort right now. Perhaps you can keep track of your own questions and the solutions as you go and eventually add to the communal knowledge with more *newbie FAQ*.
