I don't think stripes is dying, it's just matured and most people are still using it quietly. Strange how what should be a home run for marketing is actually a big downside. Activity has been a bit stagnant lately, but that doesn't mean the project is suddenly no good and you'll regret using it.
Can I volunteer to convert the project to use maven2 instead of ant? :-P Seriously though I think that would be a good idea. The best thing I think this project could do at this point is get a some articles out there about the release of 1.6 with some new exciting features that you need to see, and publish some new things on the site like a couple videos and a new sample application. A shorter release cycle would keep bringing new interest in. Unfortunately that all takes time, that nobody really has. If it's just two already full time devs working on it in the evenings after coding all day, what can you expect really... I do want to volunteer somehow as I have some ideas and could help, but seriously I can rarely sit down and code at night after what I go through here every day. (the headaches are NOT from stripes.. that's a stress free bit of our app =). Do we have a talented unemployed coder somewhere that could contribute some serious hours to the project? HA. I am open to donating as well. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Porter [mailto:aa...@mongus.com] Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2010 2:45 PM To: Stripes Users List Subject: Re: [Stripes-users] The New Stripes Website - WAS: Re: Stripes Development and its Future...

Once you get JPA set up correctly it should just work. It's exciting to see so many people want to breathe new life into Stripes!
