I like to think that's because the Tapestry users are using Tapestry to be productive, instead of just talking about it making them productive. ;) But we could all certainly step our publicity up a bit.

Cheers,

Exactly ... I have yet to figure out why the Tapestry community as a
whole is somewhat passive whereas other communities (such as Wicket
and Rails) are extremely vocal. Out in the larger world, the best
impression of Tapestry comes not from its creators, but from its
users, and the users do not talk enough about Tapestry outside of
these mailing lists.  More blogging, please!

I agree with Thiago, but I've never used Wicket. I've used tapestry5

day I'll try wicket. But if tap5 works for me... why do I have to

in this list, where there are people really interested in T5.

I agree on the discussions.

I think that (if needed) best promotion of Tapestry would be if everyone
that is actually using it (and liking it) created a post somewhere or
blogged about the reasons for choosing Tapestry and preferable to link
such pages from the central documentation.

The thing is that people who are new to all this, have to look somewhere
and decide which technology to choose. There are not many comparisons
where Tapestry is mentioned and most of them are not really favourable
and mainly point out that Tapestry is too hard to learn.
... It is not.

I was in this position two years ago, I had experience with Oracle Web PL/SQL and APEX, JSP, JSF, ASP and PHP and I am creating web sites from 1996 and I had the responsibility to choose something better. Even with such experience and even I was ready to learn from scratch it was hard
to choose the technology for the next task. I decided to start with
Tapestry bacause it was supposedly the hardest :)...
.... It was not and it solved many problems I had with the others.
