New Struts 2 Plugin Registry

[Don Brown <mr...@twdata.org>]

Before Struts 2 goes GA, I think it needs a proper plugin registry that 
lists not only bundled plugins, but any third-party plugins.  
Third-party extensions were such an important part of the success of 
Struts 1, so I think we need to do more to make it easy to publish and 
find such extensions.

Introducing the new Struts 2 Plugin Repository: 
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/S2PLUGINS

In addition to putting all the plugin docs under one place, this site 
features a page template [1] to somewhat standardize what to expect when 
looking for a plugin, and a announcements section to allow plugins 
hosted elsewhere a place to publish updates.  As a registry, its goal is 
to aggregate plugin docs and announcements in one place, assuming they 
will be developed and hosted elsewhere.

The registry allows any registered users to create pages, post news 
items, or comment, but only CLA submitters will have more permissions, 
and Struts committers have full rights.

:) The first rule of cwiki is don't link to cwiki :)

Please refer to the autoexport URL instead .

* http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/

All we need now is a Maven plugin that install Struts plugins :)
