Hi,

We are making a new Tapestry application available for
public consumption. 

WOF developers who are considering making the move to
Tapestry might want to take a look at this app. I can
tell you that developing the UI for this application
was very easy-- at least as easy as using WOF. As a
WOF developer I was immediately productive in
Tapestry. Hats off to Howard for maintaining such high
standards of software quality.

This application contains a number of reuseable
components (javascript popout-window links, tree
browser, Grid, etc) which we will contribute to the
Tapestry component library. If you see something in
the UI that looks like it might be componentized and
you would like to use it, give a shout and we will
look at getting it in the library sooner rather than
later.

The application, along with some screenshots, can be
found here:

This is some information about the app:


In a Nutshell

Pixory is a "personal image server". It allows you to
store your photos on your own pc but to access,
compose into albums, and share them anywhere on the
internet. Pixory was motivated by the desire to
centralize the storage of, and access to, personal
photo collections. But rather than centralizing them
at a commercial online photography service such as
Ofoto (tm), Pixory allows you to host your own photo
albums by using the computers and broadband internet
connection that you already own. Pixory presents a
standard web interface through which you can browse
and organize your photos from anywhere on your home
network, or the internet at large, and share them with
anyone on the internet.

Highlights:

    * Presents a standard web, pure html, interface
for all operations. Uses no plugins or proprietary
extensions.
    * Requires no installation. Just unzip and run.
    * Portable, 100% pure java. Will run on any
operating system that supports a 1.4 java runtime
environment (JRE).
    * Is completely self-contained. Requires no third
party packages, aside from the JRE.
    * All user entered album data is stored in
standard XML, accessible to the user independent of
Pixory.
    * Simple intuitive interface.
    * Pixory is secure. The combination of a web
interface and java offer a very secure facade to
present to the internet. There are no general serices
or hooks into the operating system added by Pixory.
The only functionality that is enabled is what you see
directly in the web interface.
    * Efficient. Pixory has fairly minimal hardware
requirements, running well on an Intel pentium 500
MHz. The Pixory download is only 3MB.
    * Can display image metadata such as the EXIF
information embedded in image files by most digital
cameras and scanners.
