[ANNOUNCEMENT] New Struts subproject: Struts Flow

The Apache Struts team is pleased to announce the adoption of its latest
subproject, Struts Flow, a continuations-based approach to complex web
workflows. Struts Flow originated at the struts.sf.net project and has 
been formally adopted now as a Struts subproject.  Struts Flow is a port 
of Apache Cocoon's Control Flow to Struts to allow complex workflow, 
like multi-form wizards, to be easily implemented using 
continuations-capable Javascript and eventually Java.

Today, Struts is comprised of nine subprojects: Core, Taglib, Tiles, El, 
Faces, Scripting, Applications, Shale, and (now) Flow.  Struts Flow is 
different from Struts Scripting/BSF as where Scripting brings any 
BSF-supported scripting language to Struts Actions, Struts Flow works on 
redefining the traditional Model 2 state-driven workflow into simplified 
scripts whose execution spans multiple requests.  Currently, the Rhino 
engine, a Javascript implementation, is used to provide continuations 
support, but with the maturation of Commons Javaflow - 
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/sandbox/javaflow/ - a Java-based 
continuations implementation, Java will soon be supported as well.

For more information, visit the Struts Flow website at:
   - http://struts.apache.org/flow/index.html

The question is fine, but please don't reply to all the Struts lists. 
Struts Faces is an integration library to allow Struts applications to 
use the JSF taglibs.  Apache Shale is a completely new framework that 
builds on JSF and shares no code with Struts classic.

At the risk of causing people to run around in little circles [ ;-) ],
can you tell me what Faces is?  Is that MyFaces?  How does Faces
differ from Shale?  Thanks for any information.  If the question
upsets anyone, my apologies.
