Back in 2005, TheServerSide was the forum for many a web framework animated flame war. People were finally realizing that Struts was asking way too much work from the developer and doing way too little work for the developer in return--others knew it all along-- and Tim Fennell's intelligent and insightful comments were signed with a link to Stripes and the caption: "Because web development doesn't have to suck." This caught my eye because it was a bold statement. Now, 2010 closing out, TSS is still the (a) site for animated flame wars, Struts has been replaced by JSF which is just as bad, but it takes a Spring vs Java EE thread; just your run-of-the-mill "here's my new framework" post doesn't make people waste their time anymore. Stripes has matured and perhaps, Karen, you are right, we shouldn't use 'suck' in our tagline. So, after all the brou-ha-ha-ha-ha of getting Stripes back into action, let's hear suggestions for a new, catchy, witty, smart, attractive tagline. Don't ask for mine, I've already used it for a book title ;) Cheers, Freddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Stripes-users mailing list Stripes-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/stripes-users
