RE: [Springframework-developer] Release schedule

[<jue...@we...>]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the contribution, anyway! Every feedback is helpful, be it =
bug reports, enhancement requests, or code contributions.

I guess that a lot of people will face your situation, i.e. having to =
use Struts due to project or even company standards. So straightforward =
integration between Struts and Spring is definitely a must. If we can =
achieve this so easily via ContextLoaderServlet/Listener and =
WebApplicationContextUtils, using a ServletContext attribute underneath, =
then this is really good news.

BTW, you are already part of the group! ;-) Seriously, if you want to =
take part, then try the current snapshot and report your experiences. Go =
through the API, or even some implementation, and note any obvious =
shortcomings. Within a short time, we need to write or review =
documentation for the website. There are so many ways to contribute!

Regards,
Juergen
