-1 This should be reason to upgrade, not necessary or as well tested as other C2.0
generators.

+1 Latest FOP makes it easier to create XSL:FO documents and see expected results.

+0 Avalon uses JUnit for Test cases, and I am all for it--this is somewhat lower
+priority though.

+1 The API should be stable when we release C2.0

+10 Fine grained control of the Loggers is definitely needed. This allows us to pay
+attention
only to the information we want to see.

-0 It would be nice to have, but the first thing I would ax on a time crunch
> 7) SiteBuilder - Sitemap editor cocoon app contribution from Sergio
-10 SiteBuilder is in its infancy, I would like to see it mature before being in a
cocoon release
> 8) Catalog Support - Entity Catalog support from David Crossley
+.5 I like the ability to set a bunch of entities (like all the ISO entities) and
+have them
resolve, but give precidence to stability and API consistency.

-0 I don't use JSP, so there is little for me to gain here. (I am biased though).

+0 I haven't seen it in full action yet. Leo does good work and consults smart folks
+;) but
I would have it slated for C2.1
> 11) XSLTProcessor + TRaX Transformer update - componentize TRaX support from Ovidiu
+0 If it is critical functionality, ok. If not, I would hold off on it. Remember we
+do want
to give people a reason to upgrade.

-1 I like profiler support, but this should be for C2.1
> 13) DatabaseSelectionAction.java
+1 This eases form development
> 14) ScriptAction.java
-1 Leave for C2.1 and make sure it works well
> 15) ServerPagesAction.java / action.xsl
-1 We need to see this mature a little more.
> 16) IncludeCacheValidity.java and CachingCIncludeTransformer.java
+1 It would speed up so many things for me.

-1 This is new functionality that should probably wait.
> 23) RoleFilterTransformer.java
-1 I wrote it, but I know it needs a bit more testing
> 24) CocoonTargetFactory.java
-0 I am not familiar with this piece of code
> 25) XMLizable interface
-1 Additional API is acceptable--changed API makes people mad.

-0 I am not familiar with this. If it is XSPAction related then -1 for
afforementioned reasons.

-1 Goes with XSP Action above.
> 28) More sub sitemap samples.
-0 Again it is probably trivial--but I would ax it when faced with a time crunch
