I believe the project was not purely translation as dutch version was prior
5.2 and the MEAP version was taking into account post 5.2 features and
making comparisons between versions as with the page pooling mechanism and
current singleton pages mechanism.
hope the project recovers somehow
cheers.

This is sad. My native language is spanish, so if some day I can help

This is a bummer indeed. If I recall correctly, this was gong to be a
translation from German - so the content actually exists, something must
have fallen through with the translation.
I know for a fact that the NetBeans community has had at least a couple of
'community translated' books. Unfortunately, I don't know German and have
nothing to contribute to such an effort even if it was an option :-(

I also just got the news as I signed up for the MEAP.
On related note:
I hope this project gets ressurected but I understand Tapestry is a labor of
love and a lot of work by all the developers involved and writing a book is
yet another huge task.
I am loving Tapestry and everytime I need it to do something, the answer is
always yes and 90% of the time, the solution is easy. The only hard part is
figuring it out -- the book was something I used to help me out with that.

I immediately asked for refund from Manning and will buy your book
once ready. While there's always some risk, I agree that Manning
canceling the book at this point is way better for you. Most of the
work is done and publishing via Lulu is simple and may actually allow
you to recover at least some of the investment, which usually is not
the case with most author/publisher deals for the author.

There are many many users of Tapestry that are very excited about the book
but are not actively on the forums expressing it. I believe, like you said,
this is the best thing that could have happened.
I for one, cannot wait to get my hands on it.
Good luck and "steady hand" :).
