About frightened users, what about reversing the order of sections in the sitemap : start with pipelines, which describe the contract with the external world, then resources, view, actions and lastly components ? >b) the sunRise and sunSpot components >What is the feeling of the community to move them out of the scratchpad >into the main trunk? I'm - of course :) - +1 on moving them. > Before moving sun* to the main trunk, we should discuss how it could be better integrated into Cocoon. For now, it's in Cocoon's CVS (thanks again for this donation), but is built 'on top' of it, while some of its components are of general purpose and could be moved in existing Cocoon packages where they could gain more exposure and thus a wider use. A question about sunRise : is it possible to use standard HTTP authentication and authorization ? AFAICS, it seems to be very tied to form-based and application-managed authentication. <snip/> Sylvain -- Sylvain Wallez Anyware Technologies Apache Cocoon http://www.anyware-tech.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
