    I also notice that you are one of the developers .. I was wondering why
    you were over-hyping it and dropping in the obviously incorrect FUD
    about Tapestry.

    I will admit velocity is templating but the examples are mildly script
    like. On the whole it is very similar to Tapestry though, I can't see
    the learning curve would be vastly different between the two - I can see
    you are desperate for some kind of differentiation though..

    And thats the last I will say on this one because it is a bit off topic.
