I also expect that your chances of finding a mentor are best with Cocoon 3. As mentioned above, write down your ideas of a Cocoon 3 GSoC project and share them with this community. Then let's find a mentor for your project. -- Reinhard Pötz Managing Director, {Indoqa} GmbH http://www.indoqa.com/en/people/reinhard.poetz/ Member of the Apache Software Foundation Apache Cocoon Committer, PMC member reinh...@apache.org ________________________________________________________________________
