I don't seem me losing interest though I do see Tapestry 
competing with my other interests (including Sabertooth 
and real life).

I'm doing everything I can, as an independant 
contributor, to push Tapestry into a community, not 
solo, effort.  

This is beginning to bear some fruit, as some users are 
finding bugs and providing fixes even today.  

I fully expect to continue using and improving Tapestry 
as long as I create web applications in Java ... maybe 
longer.

Sun has shown no interest in taking code from individual 
developers; they've turned me down for even auditor 
access to JSR-127, and turned me down twice for sessions 
at JavaOne.  The magic of open source is that Sun isn't 
all that relevant to the future of Tapestry.  Sun 
doesn't like to admit mistakes, and will layer more 
garbage on top of JSPs rather than face the fact that 
JSPs are a flawed and limited model.  Meanwhile, 
Tapestry is agile and free to evolve quickly.  Did I 
just get onto a rant?



I will *always* keep Tapestry as open-source, using the 
LGPL license or equivalent.



That's more of a guarantee than you can get, even for 
software you paid for!  The best guarantee is to do 
everything you can to grow the community ... turn as 
many people onto Tapestry as you can.
