no offense to anyone, but my level of 'spectacularity' is much higher
than that. And believe me, I'm working to show you what I mean in the
future.

Here is my reasoning: the Apache communities tend to collaborate more
with projects hosted *inside* than hosted outside the ASF.
I see this increasing as the amount of tools (gump, forrest) grows and
the technical infrastructure glues projects more tightly.
As Sam puts it, cross-pollination between communities is the key for
massive growth and there is very little cross-pollination between the
CMS world and the ASF, until very recently (say 3/4 months).
Dave said this 18 months ago in a public discussion with Brian and, at
that time, Cocoon wasn't powerful enough to aspire to become part of a
serious CMS.
And I think we are still missing things (mostly componentized cocoon
webapps and flowmaps), but I'd like to use Forrest as a way to indicate
the direction.... and to gather consensus and inertia to the process.
Then, it will be a pleasure to prove Dave right and crush Userland
alltogether :)
