Hmmm... << Hmm.. I am a father of 3 - and I guess Cocoon is probably easier :-). But I think you are right. To some extent I think "creating" something and then releasing it to the public (whether that be software, artistic works such as books etc.) brings on the same feeling.

I'm not a father, but I think this might barely resemble the feeling a father gets when a child/daughter grows up and stand on his/her feet. Hmmm... Some say software takes 10 years to develop. I tend to see this is a reasonable estimate for closed-source software. I have the perception that the rate of growth of a healthy and diverse open source community is much faster. Probably twice as fast. In this case, Cocoon has two more years to go before becoming adult. I wonder what I'll end up doing next. Hmmm, probably try to find a way to make some money without missing all the fun of those environments where money is not the fuel of things.
