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.
