  ASF projects do not follow the "benevolent dictator" pattern. Every member of the PMC is an equal member. If other members are unavailable for a time, every member of the PMC is expected to be able to run the project, soup to nuts.
  
- Accordingly, the volunteers invited to be committers are most often people who have created their own Struts-related site: People who have shown that they can manage a complete project, and its community, beginning to end, on their own merit.

- Another criteria is sustained interest. Usually, a volunteer is not invited to be a committer unless they have been pubically involved with Struts for at least six months. After becoming a committer, the PMC will usually wait another six months before inviting a committer to join the PMC.

- Sure. If you got some working Struts code to share, either an extension or an application, you can open on an account on Source``Forge. Or, if setting up your own site is too much work, there's already a site on Source``Forge that collects Struts extensions and applications.

  [http://struts.sf.net/ Struts.SourceForge.Net] is an independant site, not affiliated with the ASF. The volunteer bar at Struts.Source``Forge.Net is much lower. All you need is code to share and a free Source``Forge account. Everyone who is ready, willing, and able to help, is welcome.
