Re: [Webwork-devel] [Fwd: WebWork - OpenSymphony]

OK,

This is probably out of line, as I am just a lurker and user of webwork, but 
I would have similar concerns...small groups achieve more faster, and if you 
look at WW as providing a core service with value-added features then there 
is not that compelling an argument to 'merge'...the major issue i would see 
is loss of control.

from my point of view (as a fairly new convert), WW is good because it is 
small, cohesive and relatively easy to learn...the core package is elegant 
and the value-added features are good for particular re

That said, closer ties are always a good thing, however, and there are 
features of OS that are definitely worth integrating with WW. Close 
relationships will help get these features sooner and assist in adapting to 
changes in either codebase as they evolve.



cheers,
toby
