Not just migration documentation... Documentation in general is extremely
important, and though it is not so bad, Tapestry could also improve that
piece a lot. Like so many OS projects out there. Especially because it has
reputation of not being so easy to grip at first.
It would be best if there was some always updated single PDF manual, like
Spring and Hibernate have. Just thinking how many times I came to some
developer's desk and found Spring/Hibernate printed manual lying on it... No
wonder they are so loved within developers.
And then, there's so many people wanting some kind of Tapestry's component
repository flourishing.
And then, there's so many work to be done in the core, as Howard mentioned.
But, as always, it comes down to developer (with help from user) community
enthusiasm and will to do so much stuff. And it's well known that in OS
projects, developers are usually most productive in the beginning, when they
join the project. Enthusiasm then usually fade by time. Or simply life takes
you to some other areas. This is perfectly natural. I'm explaining this
since I hope no developer will get offended when I say that developer
community is a bit weaker than needed.
As far as I see, there are mostly Howard's, MindBridge's and some Paul's
commits in last 1-2 years. And recalling that Paul is a fresh one so
enthusiasm is expected as said, and Howard has personal bond/interest with
Tapestry. Geoff is active, but he has more than enough work around Spindle,
let alone Tapestry. Everything said, it's normal that release cycles are so
long.
Hope I'm not giving impressions that I'm not grateful for this wonderful
project.
Cheers,
Vjeran

And I second Michael... the most important would be documentation for
migration... I don't really care changing the inheritance of my
classes or moving properties and code somewhere else until it is
documented.
