+ == Greek Chess Federation ==
+ 
+ As of 1/7/2005, the managing and rating system of Greek Chess Federtation is 
based on Tapestry.
+ 
+ It's a system responsible for >30000 chess players and >400 clubs and for 
calculating their ratings.
+ It manages the >200 tournaments and >13000 chess games played in Greece per 
semester.
+ 
+ It's been almost a year since I've first learned about Tapestry, but only 
since Nov 2004 have 
+ I decided to use it in my projects.
+ At first, I did a thourough investingation of the framework, writing lots of 
test pages. 
+ My biggest initial concern was whether it could cover all my development 
needs. Would there be a case 
+ when something is not feasible in Tapestry?
+ I then had a student (at University of Athens) do his final project on it. It 
was very pleasant to see
+ how this (inexperienced in Java) developer came to understand and use 
Tapestry. It ended up becoming
+ the fastest final project I've ever supervised. I almost feel sorry for the 
other (brighter) students 
+ who had to learn Struts (again, after my proposal).
+ 
+ Finally, I just started using it in real projects and it just worked. All my 
fears went away!
+ 
+ The only thing that I now regret is of not having known Tapestry from the 
very first days of its 
+ existence. It feels as if I've wasted so much time in this pre-Tapestry era!
