I would like to add my vote of support to Geoff on this.

Tapestry is a very feature rich and deep framework, with a significant 
learning curve for new developers. I would like to see effort go toward 
improving Tapestry�s documentation, with a focus on the Tutorial, to ease 
new and junior developers into Tapestry.

When I first assessed Tapestry, I spent 2 days reading and digesting the 
Developers Guide. When reading the Developers Guide I knew I was onto 
something revolutionary, but I believe your average developer is not willing 
to spend 2 days learning something new.

I would also like to see additional Tapestry Components. For me the big 
differentiation between Tapestry and Struts (or any other Command pattern 
Web Application Framework), are the Tapestry Components.  With otther 
JSP/Tag based frameworks simply can�t do what Tapestry can withoug a mess of 
code. Tapestry can bind JavaScript to Components giving you a very 
interactive Web Application. Using Microsoft HTC behaviours you can do 
extrodinary things with Tapestry and Javascript/ DOM.

Visual Basic and Delphi were very successful because of their component 
based approach. Highly specialized/skilled developers developed these 
components which a great number of application developers used. The 
application developers didn�t know or care how these components worked 
internally, they just used them.

Tapestry also has this potential.  With a solid base of components and good 
documentaiton Tapestry can enable run of the mill application developer be 
very productive.

p.s. � congradulations Geoff, best wishes for the future.
