Matt,
I appreciate the fact that information is available "somewhere". However, your somewhere, my somewhere, and someone else's somewhere may not all be the same. My point is that inconsistent, inaccurate, or outdated information is misleading, causes confusion, and wastes time. I understand that documentation and providing "meta" information about the project is not high on the developers' lists. That's cool. I'm on a quest to perhaps help out in that area. I'm getting good information from you, and others, on how to do that.

Matt and Wendy,
Thanks for the info. I'm not attempting to "change" culture, but rather understand, and use, it as best I can. I know things can get messy now and then, but it will lead to confusion for the poor soul who's just discovered Struts and is trying dig their way in. If a newbie shows up today at the Struts site, there's no information indicating that 1.2.2 was "withdrawn" nor how to get version 1.2.4.
On the acquiring page it quite clearly says that 1.1 is the latest stable build, and 1.2.4 is the latest dev build. It makes no mention of 1.2.2.
Like I said - the announcments page is just a list of announcements, not a list of what should be downloaded.
I know when I was new to struts I never even glanced at the announcements page or though I should download from there, but went right to the acquiring page...maybe I'm not normal though (well...definitley not...but that isn't the point.)
BTW, I am not a "newbie" but I do understand the newbie/user point of view. I hope to use that insight to help improve things either through suggestions, or through actual submissions to the project. Where should I suggest improvements to the website and/or information contained, therein? Perhaps the dev mailing list is where I need to go next.

Your best bet is to check out the pages from cvs, make the changes, and commit patches to bugzilla. That will get much more attention than just posting to the dev list.
