OK, here's Ted speaking for himself :) It's good that people make helpful posts on the lists that answer other people's questions It's better when people submit patches to the code or documentation, to help reduce the number of questions people need to ask in the future. Here's a good example: I posted something to the list. Martin liked it, and so he copied it to the wiki. * http://wiki.apache.org/struts/WhyChain It was good that I made the post. But Martin did me one better by copying it to the wiki, where it will be easier to find. Likewise, Craig did a good thing when he made this post to the Tomcat list: * http://jakarta.apache.org/site/contributing.html Someone else [let's say, ahem, me :)], made it an even better thing by copying it to the Jakarta site, so that is not lost in the list archive. The list is a great starting point for everything. But it's only a start. It's follow through that makes the difference. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
