On the source forge page of Stripes I see the text: "Source forge description: It's stripey and it doesn't suck" I don't know what 'stripey' is, but I think 'suck' is really inappropriate language for a serious product as The Stripes Framework... http://sourceforge.net/projects/stripes/ --

the other thing that people keep talking about is how Stripes is (or nearly is) "feature complete". So how about: Stripes - simple & complete. On Oct 28, 2010, at 2:26 PM, Søren Pedersen wrote: > What about: > Stripes - because it's simple > > >> Den 28/10/2010 22.14 skrev "Nikolaos Gianno

Many take from the word "simple" alone to imply "not feature rich". So adding some sort of qualifier is great but I am not sure that "complete" is the word. Nothing in software is ever "complete" unfortunately. (Not trying to start a flame war with those that believe Stripes is complete... I ju

I keep thinking of the headline for Grails "The search is over". At one point saying "look no further" and at another pointing to the fact that people have been for the holy grail for thousands of years. That's a good one. It would be cool if we hit something with more than one dimension :) Den 28

When I used Stripes for the first time, my initial thought was... "This is the missing thing I've been looking for." Every Java-based web framework I looked at either had a piece missing or had too much things that I didn't need. I'm not the best tag-line person, but I propose something that indi

(Apologies for replying to an old thread, I'm reading old email.) For some of, perhaps the older ones, the word sucks is simply a shortened form of sucks dick. So it has undesirable sexual connotations. On 2010-10-29 09:53, M.C.S. wrote: > Well, I still like the current tagline. I give a **it
