Hi Howard et. al ,
Here's my 2cents:
1) removed.
2) I think a HOWTO section would be better than a FAQ - how do i put a
checkbox in an ajax form loop, then link to jumpstart's example.
3) Some more diagrams - the page lifecycle one is tops, but I only really began
to understand it when I was doing some zone updater form related work. Even
with the diagram, I was pumping out some System.out.println("Yo I'm here")
kinda stuff
4) A diagram on ValueEncoder would probably be a nice one for people to
understand client side string-javascript mapped to server side objects.
5) A howto on porting JSF (or other) to tapestry as the view in MVC, with a
really simple EJB backend - e.g. address book (even creating a php CMS to
tapestry front end)
6) A wishlist/voting section for modules to add to tapestry - e.g. take a look
at other frameworks and wish some of their features into tapestry5 - .e.g. GSoC
google maps stuff that was just completed.
7) A guide on how to create a plugin/extension
8) How to get tapestry going without maven, say ant/ivy
9) Diagrams (even hand-drawn & scanned and put into svn for someone with time
and some graphics to convert at a later date)
Flame away! :)
Cheers
Chris
