- The members of the Apache Struts project and the members of the OpenSymphony !WebWork 2 project would like to work together on a next-generation web application framework utilizing an action/request architecture. !WebWork was initially created by Rickard Oberg to improve on the ideas and functionality of the Jakarta Struts framework. (Now known as the Apache Struts Action framework.) Since then, the WebWork community has continued to extend and refine the framework's capabilities through a long series of releases, the latest of which, 2.2, brings advanced Ajax, templating, and Java 5 capabilities to its solid !WebWork 2 foundation.  While, to date, the !WebWork and Struts Action codebases have overlapped, recent movements to bring consolidation to the web framework landscape have inspired both communities to work together. Apache Struts has recently reorganized our codebase into multiple subprojects, two of which, Shale and Action, represent two separate but equal web frame
 works. Struts Shale serves the nascent JSF community, while Struts Action serves the established JSP community. The !WebWork 2 code would be brought into the Action subproject as the 2.x branch.  The !WebWork 2 developers are excited by the prospect of joining the ASF and collaborating to solve our common need for a solid, action-based MVC2 web framework.

- The heritage of WebWork yields many close ties with the Apache Struts community. Many users have used one framework, then the other, and have different projects in the field that use either. The !WebWork 2 codebase also uses several Jakarta Commons libraries.

  == A fascination with the ASF brand: ==
  
- After several years of independence, the WebWork developers are ready to work within a larger community and expose the WebWork technology to a wider audience. The WebWork community is not seeking the ASF brand but seeks to collaborate with like minds in the Apache Struts projects. Both sets of developers are trying to solve the same problems in the same way, and we feel that we can create a stronger community and codebase together, than we can working independantly.
