Seam is based on JEE and supports all those high productivity features required for a full stack framework its future is bright for enterprise grade applications. Grails is good for small to medium applications where high productivity and time to market is very important. Rails was already enjoying the place where Grails was trying to place itself and in fact Grails was able to prove itself as an alternative to Rails. If community of Grails as well as Seam will grow in near future an people behind them will try to fix issues in these frameworks (at the same time if they will not try to make them complex and heavy weight) then you will see only two names in the Java/JVM related full stack framework market and they may be Grails and Seam. It is more important for Seam how they make it more perfect and working, simple to use, developer friendly. Seam has potential to beat Grails, Rails and any other full stack framework.

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is an XML-based, end-to-end architecture for authoring, producing, and delivering technical information. This architecture consists of a set of design principles for creating “information-typed” modules at a topic level and for using that content in delivery modes such as online help and product support portals on the Web.
At the heart of DITA, representing the generic building block of a topic-oriented information architecture, is an XML document type definition (DTD) called “the topic DTD.” The extensible architecture, however, is the defining part of this design for technical information; the topic DTD, or any schema based on it, is just an instantiation of the design principles of the architecture.

But NPR’s digital efforts are much broader. It was the first mainstream-media organization to enter podcasting and often has several programs in the iTunes top 10. An open platform introduced last year allows listeners to mix their own podcasts and otherwise play around with NPR content — one fan built an NPR iPhone app. And NPR is putting all of its editorial employees — every editor, producer, and reporter — through multimedia training, with support from the Knight Foundation. Traffic on NPR.org grew 78% from 2007 to 2008.
