Re: [Ginp-developers] Hacking

Doug,

	You can convert back to Taglibs if you want, though I'd bet you'd 
benefit if you read the "Tapestry in Action" book.  I am going to be 
taking a break from ginp development to work on some personal projects. 
  I was really happy to get it to a point where I was happy with it for 
my own basic personal gallery  so I didn't have to use a php based one.

Regards,

	Justin
