Hi everybody,

I think one of the biggest remaining shortcomings of the documentation
is the component reference.  The automated generation of the component
reference is nice, but it has certain drawbacks.

For example, in the new documentation, the
http://tapestry.apache.org/documentation.html page links to the
Component Reference at
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5.2-dev/tapestry-core/ref/, but the
latter is really part of the *old* documentation set. And once people
follow links into it, they are "stuck" there, with plenty of
navigation links to the old (non-Confluence) documentation but none
back to the new (Confluence) documentation.

Beyond this, I think the component reference documentation needs to be
more browseable (e.g. related components grouped together) and it
needs screen shots, more examples, links to other component libraries
like Tapx and ChenilleKit, and maybe even an interactive demo for each
visual component (should that be built into Hotel Booking?

How do we make the component documentation better?  Should each
component have its own page in the User Guide, like already exists for
BeanEditForm (http://tapestry.apache.org/beaneditform-guide.html)?  Or
is there some better approach?
