Ok, let's talk to Lon at the conference how we can help them.

Ok

I am working on it and try to make it ready as soon as possible.

Sure, we can donate the server side, but the client side (which is
the actual Xopus), we would have to talk to Lon again. I tried to
convince him to opensource the current version we are using, but he
thinks his code is too messy and people would get frustrated.

Concerning the server side:
Do you have any policies how to write a sample?
We could provide you with something like:

wyona-xopus
  |
  +--sitemap.xmap
  |
  +--docs
  |   |
  |   +--data
  |   |    |
  |   |    +--helloworld.xml
  |   |    |
  |   |    +--newspaperarticle.xml
  |   |
  |   +--schemas
  |        |
  |        +--helloworld.xsd
  |        |
  |        +--newspaperarticle.xsd
  |
  +--stylesheets
  |   |
  |   +--helloworld.xsl
  |   |
  |   +--helloworld_xopus.xsl
  |   |
  |   +--newspaperarticle.xsl
  |   |
  |   +--newspaperarticle_xopus.xsl
  |
  +--resources
      |
      +--xopus
          |
          +--???

org.apache.cocoon.acting.WyonaXopusAction

I guess you would mount the "wyona-xopus-sitemap" from the cocoon sitemap.

What do you think?

Sure.

All the best
