Tapestry is ... a web framework for Java
Tapestry provides all features you need to write a complete web
application with or without use of Ajax. Tapestry applications are
normally written in Java, the most popular
enterprise applications development language but you may use Groovy and
Skala as development language as well.
Tapestry is ... highly productive
Tapestry embraces convention over configuration, which means little or
none configuration effort. It is based on components which allows heavy
reuse of elements in other pages. It supports hot class reloading. Just
change a class and reload the browser page.
Tapestry is ... scalable
Tapestry works well for everything from small web applications with
just a couple of pages, to large web applications with hundreds or even
thousand of pages. It scales great on a single server but its runs
perfectly on clustered servers or cloud environments.
Tapestry more technically
Tapestry is ... agile
Easy to code, easy to test, easy to deploy. Tapestry encourages you
to work in small increments with immediate feedback so you are
always making fast, forward progress. It helps you fixing problems
with incredible detailed error messages. Want to code in Groovy or
Scala instead? No problem!
Tapestry is ... fast
Tapestry is pure Java. It doesn't use Java reflection, and is built
to cleanly support large numbers of threads. Better yet, it
automatically includes standard performance-enhancing strategies for
web application such as GZip content compression, JavaScript
aggregation, and far future
expires headers ... all techniques to cut down on the size
and number of requests.
Tapestry is ... productive
Code and templates are lean and mean. LIve class reloading means
that the time between seeing an error and providing the fix
is seconds, not minutes. Advanced exception reporting gives you all
the tools you need to fix your problem: not just
a stack trace, but every bit of information you need to know about
what Tapestry was doing and why it was doing it.
Tapestry is ... scalable
Tapestry scales up big on a single server, but also gives you great
options for when you need to switch to a cluster. Tapestry makes
it easy to store information on the client (as hidden fields or
query parameters) or on the server (in the session).
Tapestry is..based on components
Tapestry is based on components and templates
Tapestry applications consist of pages and components. Components
are easy to write, and hook together easily ... components
can contain other components. Templates are either written with HTML
or XML and are easy to read and to change by web developers and
designers. Tapestry does
all the "dirty plumbing" to connect your components and pages.
Tapestry is ... adaptable
Tapestry's architecture is open and extensible. You need to integrate
other technologies for your business logic (Spring, EJB), input
validation (Bean validation)? Tapestry provides you with many hooks to
integrate your preferred libraries. There are already many integrations
for popular technologies. And even better: You don't like how
Tapestry does something? There's a clean way to add your own
logic, or substitute some of Tapestry's logic with your own. Tapestry
modules make it easy to create components and package them
for reuse in your current application, or across many applications.
Tapestry is ... international
Tapestry has built-in support for more than a dozen different
languages, and makes it easy for your application to cleanly
support multiple localizations. Tapestry automatically tracks the
user's preferred locale and makes it easy to access
user-localized messages across the entire application.
Tapestry is ... dependable
Tapestry's roots go back to 2003 as an Apache project, and even
earlier as an open-source projects. Thousands of applications
run on Tapestry, including high-throughput sites like SeeSaw.com.
Tapestry applications have a history of running glitch-free.
Tapestry is ... fun
Tapestry removes the tedium of developing web applications, leaving
just the fun parts. Tapestry keeps you "in the zone", having
fun and coding up a storm! Tapestry: code less deliver more!
clusters a lone developer working on
an application with just a couple of pages,
all the way up to large teams and applications with hundreds of
pages and custom components. For big teams, Tapestry's
pages and components design keeps the efforts of different
developers automatically integrated.

I think that 'Tapestry combines
>> simple Java classes with straight-forward templates to form
>> components and pages '
is hard to understand.

then shows the additional explanations on hover or some other nice way, that'd be slick.
But frankly I like the content.

Tapestry applications consist of pages and components. Components

your application, because it knows all the pages
and all the components within the pages ... this lets Tapestry do

I'm thinking the basic "a web-UI framework for Java" might be useful for the
"stating the obvious" department.
But some people coming to the site may not actually get that context, if
they're journalists or managers looking at platforms. Probably need to make
some sort of really hyper-obvious statement that categorizes its niche.

Actually, I'm not happy with the "dependable" section. That one needs
