 <section>
 		<title>Introduction</title>

 <p>
 Tapestry is a powerful, open-source, all-Java framework
 for creating leading edge web applications in Java.
 </p>

 <p>
 Tapestry reconceptualizes web application development
 in terms of objects, methods and properties
 instead of URLs and query parameters.
 </p>

 <p>
 Tapestry is an alternative to scripting environments such as
 JavaServer Pages or Velocity.  Tapestry goes far further,
 providing a complete framework for creating extremely dynamic applications
 with minimal amounts of coding.
 </p>

 <p>
 Tapestry's approach, using a component object model similar to a
 traditional GUI, provides the following benefits:
 </p>

 <ul>
 <li>Very high level of reuse, within and between projects<br/><i>Everything in Tapestry is a reusable component</i></li>
 <li>Frees developers from writing boring, buggy code<br/><i>Code in terms of objects, methods and properties, not URLs and query parameters</i></li>
 <li>Allows applications' complexity to scale well<br/><i>Framework does all the URL building and message dispatching, transparently</i></li>
 <li>Easy Internationalization/Localization<br/><i>Framework selects localized version of text, templates and images</i></li>
 <li>Extremely robust applications<br/><i>Less code is less bugs<br/>Sophisticated built-in exception reporting<br/><link href="faq.html#lineprecise">Line precise error reporting</link></i></li>
 <li>Easy team integration<br/><i>Graphic designers and Java developers can work together without having to know each other's jobs</i></li>
 </ul>
 <p>
 Tapestry is distributed under the terms of the Apache Software License.
 </p>

 <p>Tapestry exploits the dynamic nature of the Java language, leveraging
 the JavaBeans API, as well as servlets and other J2EE technology.
 Tapestry applications are fast, scalable, robust and powerful.
 </p>

 <p>
 Tapestry components are a combination of a specification file (in XML),
 an HTML template and a Java class (extending a framework class,
 with simple additions). Tapestry components are combined together
  to form larger components or complete Tapestry pages.

   <title>Status</title>

 <p>
 This release is Tapestry 3.0.3, the final bug fix release for Tapestry 3.0.
 </p>

 <p>Current development efforts are focused on Tapestry 3.1,
 which rebuilds Tapestry on top of the
 <link href="http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/">HiveMind</link> microkernel, simplifies code and development,
 and ads a boat load of new features.</p>

 <p>
 <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/current/">
 A preview of the Tapestry 3.1 documentation is available</a>.

 <p>
 Tapestry has a very active
 <link href="mailto:tapestry-user-subscribe@jakarta.apache.org">User</link> mailing list, with
 <link href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.java.tapestry.user">archives</link>.
 This is the list for getting help with using the framework.
 </p>

 <p>
 The <link href="mailto:tapestry-dev-subscribe@jakarta.apache.org">Developer</link>
 mailing list is for Tapestry committers and other power users to discuss
 enhancements to the framework.  It also has
 <link href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.jakarta.tapestry.devel">archives</link>.

 </p>

 <p>
 A <link href="site:wiki">Wiki</link> has been set
 up to discuss Tapestry and plan new features.
