This is my first post, and I'll keep it brief.

First of all, congratulations to Geoff. I have 4 kids (with one on the way). I
hope you have as much fun as I have these last 7 years with the kids. We don't
go out to movies or out to eat anymore, but we have a blast.

I've been evaluating Web frameworks for an upcoming project. Tapestry is the
most elegant (and amazing) one I've come across. On this particular project,
JSP is really required for the view so I can't go with Tapestry. For now I'll
just keep it in mind until another project comes along.

Mostly I want to concur with everything Malcolm Edgar said. The learning curve
for Tapestry is significant, so the work in progress on
documentation/tutorials will be key.

Second, I was surprised there are not more high-level components available for
Tapestry. I don't think this is Howard's responsibility. Anybody really using
the framework will probably be developing navbars, hierarchical tree views,
calendar/date controls, etc. Let's hope some folks begin contributing these
items back to Tapestry. A rich set of solid, browser-neutral components would
fill the only real gap in the framework. In fact, a nice set of high-level
components that works well across all browsers is hard to find anywhere today.
I've played with various ones, and they all have their drawbacks. Tapestry
would be an irresistable tool with a stronger set of UI components.

Keep up the great work everyone.
