I'm almost afraid to comment since I'm certainly no expert on UI
issues and I'm not sure that designing an UI by a committee works
well, but to me, the contrast between white and black is too strong. I
wonder if a lighter shade of gray for the background would be better
(though it easily becomes too boring and Windows UI like).

The other thing, and this might deserve its own thread, but doesn't
anybody else feel that "code less, deliver more" is overused to a
point it sounds almost childish. I'd much rather see something simpler
and more elegant such:
Tapestry 5 - Code Less.
Tapestry 5 - Deliver.
Tapestry 5 - Deliver the Web
Tapestry 5 - Express the Web
Tapestry 5 - Complete the Web

While you can do all sorts of things with Tapestry, the focus is still
on building web applications. I do admire all the efforts that you
guys, Uli and Robin and others, have put into this so far.
