Just my 2 cents regarding this general issue of third-party components being
listed at one place.

Take a look at the Vaadim's add-ons directory <http://vaadin.com/directory>.
jQuery has the similar thing <http://plugins.jquery.com/>. I think it would
be totally cool to have the similar site for Tapestry, one place add-on
directory or in our case a directory of components, modules etc.. It could
either offer direct downloads (jars) and/or snippet for maven dependency or
just a link to the project website. Code examples could be given also,
screenshots, ratings etc.

This would surely boost the acceptance of the Tapestry by the Java web
developers and would sure help new users start quickly. And if it would be
implemented using Tapestry itself... :D Just thinking out loud.

Best,
Nikola
