If you dig into them though, they're changing. Web Services is flattening, XML is federating, I'm being a pain at Jakarta trying to get us to follow Web Services' direction. It's a legacy issue of the message of what a PMC is meant to be not being fully understood/defined when a lot of the projects started off. > I would also like to point out that a lot of > our "community" is migrant workers brought in especially for Shale and > having nothing much at all to do with the Struts community.

I don't know the history - was there a codebase before it came in, was it new, what were the incubation issues etc, but there are times when communities indicate that they want to merge because they believe overlap will grow, or to grow communities in-house etc. The proof will be in the pudding. I personally agree with the context of your message - questions on whether Struts Action 2.0 and Struts Shale will remain one community or not. It's too early for alarm bells though - the community consensus was to give it a try and over the next year or two we'll see what happens.
