I'm interested in creating an alpha release soon.  I'm just dealing
with some of the remaining issues w.r.t. the build.

As an alpha release, I hope people would be ok with a few limitations:
- Just Maven artifacts, no binary/source
- No Maven quickstart archetype
- No "site reports" beyond JavaDoc  (I'll miss the code coverage report, though)

These issues would be corrected in a later alpha or beta release.  The
point is to roll out something that many people can use, to start
identifying problems in the rather large internal changes under the
covers.  I know I could keep adding new features forever, but it might
be better to draw a line in the sand, get a 5.3 out in the next few
months, and focus on a 5.4 for 2012.

This might also be a good time to review what goes into the binary
release. Currently, its the Tapestry jars and their dependencies,
including the Antlr runtime, and Javassist (for the meantime) and some
of the Hibernate and Spring modules.  To be honest, I'm not sure if
that's entirely legit (especially the Hibernate modules) and perhaps
we should limit the JARs to tapestry-core & its dependencies, but the
JARs for tapestry-hibernate and tapestry-spring w/o the Hibernate and
Spring dependencies.
