Really? That makes life really easy =)

Once ant2 is out, Pete will come in like blazing wind and port
everything over before you can say "release". I'm sure of it =)

I have. In my current custom project setup I've just migrated over to a
forked maven (was an anakia user), which I'm now looking to hook up to
Centipede. It seems to work.

I still find I have to learn *way* too much about Cocoon in order to
'get' how Forrest does its thing; guess it is the same prob Avalon
suffers from...probably has the same advantages.

Hey, anyone that has earned the "committer" name around here gets my
trust on that till proven otherwise (and the "otherwise" list is very
much non-published :D).

Bottomline, Pete got Centipede to work, Berin can't help but say yes as
he is our cocoon wizzard, Paul and Jeff are not complaining, I'm all for
it, so you got yourself a client (while we wait for Berin to come to
that conclusion as well).

Question on my mind right now: how much cycles do you have to put into
this?

If you're interested, you'll have my support for committer status (so
you can take more load of my back). Don't say yes if you don't have the
time tho'...too many of us suffer from that problem :/
