- It depends very strongly on Cocoon.
- The code it starts with will, have parts come out of Cocoon.
- We would want the Cocoon committers have automatic karma to it.
- Other subprojects already have a similar this arrangement, albeit on 
the sister project Jakarta, like Lucene, Avalon, Turbine.
- It doesn't have a project goal, but is more a repository of Cocoon 
apps, a sort of Cocoon-Commons.

On the other hand it would seem to be another subproject, since there 
would be a different community round it, but this has also happened with 
the cocoon-docs mailing list without creating a Cocoon-docs subproject.
Besides we would probably still want to use the Cocoon-dev and 
Cocoon-user lists for it, at least in the early stages.

Basically we are thinking about a Cocoon subproject, versus the fact 
that the norm is to have Xml.Apache Sub-Projects.

Can it be arranged?
