I hope you're not missing my main point ... the process by which collaboration occurs is irrelevant if only words and not code is shared. That's why wish lists (in any form) are pretty useless unless they are backed up with action. Mailing lists have served the Struts developers just fine in the almost five years that Struts has been in existence. That doesn't mean other technologies might not have been helpful, or worked better. It just means that Struts is what it is because people acted by creating something, rather than only talking about creating something (or, only talking about something they wish someone *else* would create for them :-).
