One other interpretation: Struts-dev is dead!  I posted a fairly 
provocative email there yesterday, and no response whatsoever.  I think the 
fact that cocoon-dev postings outweigh struts-dev postings by almost 4 to 1 
indicates that Cocoon developers are definitely more loquacious and 
potentially more numerous than Struts developers.  (I'm a bit depressed 
about it, actually -- the Struts developers seem rather inaccessible.)

(Why'd you omit Axis?  the last project I contributed to....)
Cheers,
Rob
