Removing the Consultants Page
I think Ted is in favor of dropping the Consultants page. I am as well and
if you all agree then I think we should remove it. I'm personally tired of
handling the requests for new links and policing the rules.

I agree...How can this be done fairly?
There are many opportunities for shameless self promotion.
I don't think struts has to facilitate this...

We originally setup the page because people kept asking. So if we
take it down, we need to keep something up saying that we don't do
that. Rather than waste a page, we might just add a section to the
Powered By page.
Then what about the Powered By page?
I think we need one, but we might want to restrict it to sites
that are willing to write up some sort of case-study to go with
the listing, so it would be more than just a URI. I'm thinking of
a site preface page with a screen shot or two that talks about how
the site came to be written, and then finally a link to the site
itself.
Realistically, people are looking for war stores and testimonials
here, rather than just a link list. So this would become a "Struts
Showcase" section, rather than just a Powered By directory.
Of course, there would still be a list, but it could include an
introductory paragraph (from the site preface page), and link to a
page about the site, and then to the site itself. (Or not, if it
is an internal site with a really good write-up :)
I can work something up a couple as examples. We might also try
twisting dIon's arm for something regarding the Pizza Hut site. I
also remember a good post WRT the http://www.ipayment.co.za/ site.
Application Servers, The Malamute Registry, BaseBeans
(www.proj.com), Bug Track, FixaFest, Julianne Griffith, Raible,
IPIP, Roller, and WindSurfing look like other likely suspects =:0)
How about if we start by reducing the PB list to these twelve I
can then try to get a case study page up for one of my things to
get that ball rolling.
