A Question about Patches

[DeRose Jonathan <de...@bah.com>]

I have a question about a patch I submitted,
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20784

A quick summary for anyone who may have missed it:
  The enhancement provides lots of new functionality for error handling
beyond writing out the errors. (Developers could use it to highlight errored
inputs, create errors on a group of input elements, have their labels turn
bold and red, and lots more...
  It is flexible and allows developers to set up these styles to whatever is
suitable for their application, or leave them out completely.  It is
completely backwards compatible.</PLUG>

  I have received several positive replies from people both on the list and
in private emails.  I would like to know if there is anything I can do next.
I apologize as I am new to collaboration in an open source environment.  I
do not want to push too hard, nor do I want to let this enhancement slip
through the cracks.  So if there is anything I can do to promote this
enhancement/refine it/answer questions about it, I would love to do so.  I
think it would be a really great addition to Struts.

Thanks for any help/insight,
Jonathan

Are you hosting this as a project somewhere?  Sourceforge?

If not, then might want to.  

The Struts project on SourceForge is a great place for these kinds of 
enhancements/extensions.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/struts 

If you want, let me know and I'll add you.  That would allow you to package 
and release it with incremental improvements and also allow others to use and 
modify the source to their liking (the essence of OSS).
