Mark, I was involved in a conversation with various people. It so
happens that the conversation developed here.



No matter where the conversation developed, it has gone in directions that
are off topic on this list.

Well, I differ with you on this. Before Mark's interruption, I posed basically the following question:

If there is no basic problem with your project management practices (as you seem to claim) what were the reasons that Struts development stagnated, with Struts becoming increasingly uncompetitive with other things in its space, such as Webwork?

The question is, at the very least, broadly on-topic. It is of interest to the Struts community, because seriously considering this question would allow you to avoid the same mistakes in the future. It would also be useful even to people like me who are managing other open source projects. It is always useful to see what other people have done right (and wrong) in terms of managing projects.

This is a very complex issue that is worthy of having an open-minded exchange of views about. Now, nobody is obliged to partake in this exchange of views, I grant that. But it is utterly beyond me why somebody who doesn't want to participate in such a discussion should be trying to prevent other people from doing so.

Regards,

Jonathan Revusky

Please feel free to continue the conversation,
but do it somewhere else.
