Some quick notes - wrt JS/CSS minimization: AFAIK, all frameworks doing that (for instance jawr) use the yuicompressor library which is close to 800KB. Additionally, many companies prefer doing the minimization offline, so i hope this doesnt end up inside core. - JS improvements and rewrite: https://github.com/got5/tapestry5-jquery was usable with 5.2.0 and after the recent updates by Christian Riedel should work fine in 5.2.4 This basically means that the rewrite/improvements are closer that one might think (i'll help develop them and making sure they end up in 5.3) - Plastic: if it's not inside tapestry, it needs to at least be available from central
