Ok, so today I shipped my article on Tapestry to the Java Report. This is very hopeful ... it seems like the publication process for a second article is less formal than the first (I was published there in the June 2000 issue).

I got a lot of response from the first article, probably 100 e-mails, mostly like "where can I get the source code", but still very cheering. That's why I've put way more effort into Tapestry and into the Tapestry demos, in preperation for another onslaught. SourceForge will help a lot there, since it's pretty well organized.

Too bad I'm not certified yet, the current discussion about "critical mass" is very close to my heart.

I've been following several different paths to bootstrap Tapestry :

  • Using it internally for a real project -- that really shakes out the wrinkles
  • Creating good demos and making it as easy as possible to get them up and running
  • Pushing it internally (which is kind of like pollinating, since internal folks don't stay internal forever, or even that long in some cases)
  • Writing an article for the JavaReport

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
