That's great news, however, I want to bring up a related concern - the forums (and, to a lesser extent, the rest of the seam site) are very slow. Pages routinely take 2-5 seconds to load, which doesn't bode well for the perception of the framework. I have heard comments like "why is the site so slow? and it's written in seam?" (and myself said similar things when I was first introduced to Seam)

  From looking at the code on the site from the examples/wiki directory, it looks like at least many sql queries seem to be optimized -- what else could it be? I have explored around the code but without a good dataset that represents live data, can't do much more. Is there a way to get a recent data dump of the website DB (with all usernames/passwords/other user data further hashed/obfuscated, of course). 

  If this is possible, some of us could take a stab at perhaps making the forums faster. It'll only help with adoption/use of the forums.
