Your nagging feeling is wrong ;-) Sling is successfully used in solid projects outside of Day, see https://cwiki.apache.org/SLING/who-is-using-sling-.html I agree that's not a big crowd, and part of that might be related to our suboptimal documentation and examples. They've been steadily improving, but as you have noticed there are still weak spots. As you say, we are lacking a complete application example beyond the espblog sample. That is precisely the goal of the Google Summer of Code project that I'm mentoring: to create a mini-CMS that goes beyond our basic examples and demonstrates Sling best practices. Follow our dev list (especially messages from our student Federico) for more info - I hope this project will help make Sling more accessible to more web programmers. -Bertrand
