I have found the documentation really useful and helpful however i think previous experience with tapestry is almost required to understand it. At least you need to understand the basic concepts so could do an analogy between both of them. Also it's a bit difficult to know what's new between releases and sometimes the changes are not documented on the website :s
The learning curve i think is much less than in the other versions. At least it was for me and my colleagues. The mailing list as always is helpful and willing to help u. I think that's one of the strongest point of Tapestry. On 5/16/07, Martin Grotzke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
