Hi Sylvain, >> Thanks a lot for this donation, which will be a great step forward for promoting Cocoon. Is this what can be seen at http://sunshine.sundn.de/ ? << Yep. This is an example portal we built to showcase some of what we are doing for customers. I can provide you (or anyone interested) with a login if you contact me off-list (just so our little test machine doesn't blow up when you all try to logon :-)). Please note that _this_ portal is in German - which is done through use of stylesheets. So the actual components are of course language independent. Basically, once you have been authenticated (Carsten posted something about that earlier today) your portal profile is built up, the content fetched and then the XML data formatted into the portal look and feel. As a user you can then change certain properties - as defined by the portal administrator (who basically defines this by way of an XML portal definition).
We realize that people are probably itching to get their hands on the components and play with them - and Carsten is doing his best to get them ready as quickly as possible - but we also have paid work we need to do as well :-)) In the meantime we will be happy to provide as much background information as possible - so keep the questions coming :-).
