It's probably not my place to propose patches to the documentation,
but use this, if you folks see fit. Please let me know if I
shouldn't be sending patches to the list on such minor things.
- Removed remarks about the Turbine/Scarab Summit - that was in June
- the link just goes to the invitation page. (Wasn't there some
documentation from the minutes of the summit that it could link to?)
- A bunch of nit-picky grammar changes.
Thanks,
Will Stranathan

Many commercial (and non-commercial!) software companies will
attempt
to sell you an "Application Server", but what few people
realize is that
! it is only half of the battle to creating a web application.
There is often
! quite a lot of code that your engineers end up re-inventing the
wheel with
! or grabbing various packages from all over the net with various
licenses
! that you may or may not agree to. The point of Turbine is to
collect that
code into one location and make it easy to create re-usable
components
! (such as ParameterParsing, Database Connection Pools, Job
Scheduling, GlobalCaches,
integration with other tools such as Castor, Velocity, etc...)
all under
a <link href="license.html">license</link> (Apache) that allows
you to create
useful websites for your customers without worrying about viral
code. Turbine
! is not the end all answer, but it sure is a nice way to make
your development
life easier.
</p>
<p>
! This framework has an intended audience that is directed at web
engineers,
not necessarily the web designers. By using this framework, it
is possible
! for the web engineers to build intuitive high level systems for
the web
designers to use, but the low level framework is strictly for
web engineers.
Turbine is not a web application server. It is a tool for
building web
applications. Your <link

The reason why Turbine works so well is because it applies
object oriented
! principles to the entire process of building a complex secure
web application.
