Hello,
In order to evaluate an alternative to generate the Tapestry website and
documentation, I set up a demo website using Tapx as a prototype. The source
files can be downloaded here http://www.laliluna.de/download/tapx.zip and
viewed here http://tapestry.laliluna.de

I hope you got a nice first impression.
I'm sorry but i really don't get why to use something like this one
when you have tools available already, and let's say we all hate
maven, i still find the whole solution cumbersome in respect to the
current one.
Cheers
The idea to use an alternative technology came up, when the last website
rework effort got stuck because some requirements like better news
integration etc was hard to solve with the Maven site generator.
Howard proposed to use an alternative site generator and Ulrich proposed
to use Confluence to deal with the main site. The pros and cons of the
both approaches to replace Maven was discussed recently and my proposal
was to make a quick proof of concept. This is what I have done now.
I like the Nanoc approach because it is elegant and easy to adapt as
Tapestry is. It took me less time to setup the website with Nanoc than
it took me to adapt the Maven build for the last website effort.
You can edit files easily and preview them locally and you can edit them
offline. The downsides are that they require the normal patch based
contribution of none commiters and of course it requires a local
infrastructure setup (installing Ruby).
