Stefano, I will absolutely respect the "Cocoon" name. (I guess "CocoonSoft" is out :) ) I believe Cocoon is a tremendous framework that should be available for .Net. As I get farther into this "port" I will use some of my own ideas in the implementation. And it will slowly break from the Cocoon mold and live through it's own community. The only thing I ask, Is I would like to acknowledge the ideas for the .Net project were conceived from Cocoon? I appreciate the great framework and will definitely not ruin the value of "Cocoon".
