Just to get it right. The following is the text we agree on. I'll try my best to get it into freshmeat then.... By the way, shouldn't we change the README or some other documents and add this text there?
------------------------------ OO --------------------------------- Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework that raises the usage of XML & XSLT technologies for server applications to a new level. Designed for performance and scalability around pipelined SAX processing, Cocoon offers a flexible environment based on the separation of concerns between content, logic and style. A centralized configuration system and sophisticated caching top this all off and help you to create, deploy & maintain rock-solid XML server applications. Cocoon interacts with most data sources from filesystems to RDBMS, from LDAP to native XML databases and adapts content delivery to the capabilities of different devices like HTML, WML, PDF, SVG, RTF just to name a few. Cocoon currently runs as a Servlet or from a powerful commandline interface. The choosen design of an abstracted environment gives you the freedom to implement your own concrete environment to let it work. ------------------------------ OO --------------------------------- Carsten > -----Original Message----- > From: Gianugo Rabellino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2001 12:07 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Fwd: freshmeat project listing for Cocoon] > > > giacomo wrote: > > > On Wed, 21 Nov 2001, Gianugo Rabellino wrote: > > > > > >>giacomo wrote: > >> > >> > >>>Ok, here is what I feel hits the point :) > >>> > >>>----------------------------------- oo > ----------------------------------- > >>> > >>>Apache Cocoon is an XML publishing framework that raises the usage of > >>>XML & XSLT technologies for content-centric server > applications to a new > >>>level.
