Hi Howard, Absolutely happy to share. We're running .12 because .13 happened too close to the release and we didn't want to introduce any more changes. We're planning on moving to .13 at the next release.
There are 27 pages on the site, although the bulk of the functionality exists on about 12 of them. The site is heavily componentized though - there are 19 components we created and reuse throughout the site. Making heavy use of components has really aided in the build and iterate cycle because of the way that we isolated functionality within them - many of the pages are nothing more than containers for lots of independent components. There were 3 developers on the project working part time over the past 4 months. Much of that effort was in building back-end services, aim/gtalk integration and statistics computation. I'd estimate that around 30% of the effort was on the front-end and I regard that as a credit to T5 more than the complexity of the back-end. One fantastic point to make (which isn't unique to T5 but Tapestry more over) is the fact that for our HTML/CSS developer, we actually were able to give him SVN access and he, without Java experience (much less Tapestry), was able to make pretty large modification to page and component layouts. That was awesome to not have to bother Java developers with!
