Hi! Amazing perfomance! I never thought that such a good response time is possible for information site based on Cocoon. Really glad to see this.
Would you share your experience a little? Are you using content aggregation, XInclude/CInclude? Are you using typical pipelines for page generation: [XSP->]XML->XSLT or maybe some other generators/transformers, JSP, PHP? Is it planned to internationalize the site (make it multi-lingual)? FYI, there is a minor defect on this page: http://www.portugalmail.com/forums/read/cupido/mm/?forumPage=3 there are two rows of numbers (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 etc.) Regards, Konstantin Piroumian > Hi, > > Congratulations to all Cocoon 2 developers!
