+ <h4 id="wsmoak">Wendy Smoak -- Committer</h4>
+
+ <p>In late 2001, I was asked to put information from a database on
+ the web, including a few forms to allow updates. By that time I had
+ been working with Java for a couple of years in class projects, but
+ "Servlet" was still a foreign word. With no real deadline and
+ complete freedom to pick anything I wanted, I spent hours online
+ searching and participating in different forums and lists. And any
+ time I asked for advice using 'Java' and 'HTML forms' in the same
+ sentence, I got a resounding chorus of "Struts!" in reply.</p>
+
+ <p>That first webapp went through quite a few iterations as I tried
+ and discarded various things. But I kept coming back to Struts, and
+ eventually things fell into place-- thanks mostly to the helpful
+ community on the struts-user list. As I gained more experience,
+ asking questions on the user list naturally transformed into
+ answering them, which I've been doing ever since. I accepted an
+ invitation to become a Struts Committer in June, 2005.</p>

User list & download stats (was: Re: svn commit: r219365 - /struts/core/trunk/doc/volunteers.xml)

Oops, I forgot to mention changing the user list stats. We are currently
outnumbered by tomcat-user... but only by ~300 subscribers. Not bad for a
framework (or two) vs. an entire Servlet container.
The download stats, however, no longer average 15,000 a month:
http://people.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/projects/struts#Downloads-N100DF
The downloads graph says it was generated on 6/15, so I thought I'd wait for
a new (post JavaOne) version before trying to come up with a number.
