I am using VelocityStruts v1.2 and would be happy to take the point on
VelocityStruts v1.3.  I don't see anything in Struts v1.3 that should
compromise continued support - on the contrary it seems we will finally
get the long awaited ViewContext in the next release - which should make
our work a lot easier!  So I would like a VelocityTools v1.3 release
that supports Struts v1.3 - but I have no thoughts on the Struts Action
2.0 issue.

Interesting ... could you elaborate on that a little?  Are you now more
of an IoC man like Geir?  Do you want further development of SimpleLog?

They all sound pretty good to me :)

Can't say that I'd miss them in v1.3, personally.

Not from me.

No interest here at this time.
