And they are very good thoughts. There won't be a Tapestry 6. The design of Tapestry 5 is to create the stability you call for in your blog posting.
The essence of Tapestry for me is that there is a fundamental germ of an idea encapsulated in the code and the design, and it's a powerful and compelling idea. Tapestry 1 through Tapestry 4 approached that idea and made it possible for many users to leverage it, but minor flaws in the implementation grew overwhelming, especially in terms of "coloring outside the lines". My skill as a designer, as a coder, and (I hope) as an evangelist have all grown over the last few years, possibly as I've been exposed to other great developers (via the No Fluff Just Stuff conferences) and, through teaching Tapesry, to more actual users. My goal is to have something overwhelmingly compelling for new users, who are suffering under Struts and JSF, and for existing users (who need to make a transition from T4 to T5). The feedback I've been getting from my actual, paying clients is very positive, which keeps me motivated. On 5/19/07, Warner Onstine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
This is something that I've been thinking about for a while and wrote a blog post about why I think Tapestry hasn't seen greater adoption, I would like to encourage all who are interested in commenting (or just reading) to visit my blog.
