I agree that most of the T5 documentation is very good -- especially considering it hasn't been released yet. I think a lot of people struggle with very basic things in the beginning. I would highly recommend Alexander Kolesnikov's Tapestry 5 book for someone starting with Tapestry. It really helps smooth out the steepness at the beginning of the learning curve.

Another thing that I think would really help with the adoption of Tapestry 5 is some additional maven archetypes. The current archetype is great. You can have a running Tapestry application in a matter of minutes and it gives you a pretty good idea of what you need to get started. However if it were possible to choose a Hibernate/Tapestry or Cayenne/Tapestry archetype, it would make things a lot easier for someone checking things out for the first time.

Maybe something along the lines of AppFuse--just enough functionality to get you started and some examples of how to create a login and get things in and out of the database.
