Folks,
I know this is probably a FAQ and a very vague question, but I'm wondering about the stability of Cocoon development.
I'm researching Cocoon as an enabling tool for a product, and need some sense of how stable it is. To play devil's advocate (which my bosses will):
Roughly, how many live sites are there that use Cocoon?
See on Cocoon’s site list of live sites. Some sites are not advertised there.
The Apache HTTP server is an outstanding example of open-source software. How long before Cocoon reaches that kind of stability?
Basically, Cocoon “core” is quite stable. Or even very stable. But Cocoon contains lots of other components, which might not be tested as well as core components. Most of potentially unstable components are in the scratchpad area, but many users are using them, and improving them (read: going to be stable soon and will be moved to the main area). Some of low-tested (read: potentially unstable) components could be found in Cocoon itself, and they are not tested much just because there were no enough demand (if you use something rarely used, you can discover a bug).
C2 replaced C1. How do we know that C2 won't be scrapped for an entirely new model (C3)? Is this just a proof of concept?
C1 was born as proof of concept, C2 was designed to last.
Is XSP an open standard?
What can be more open then Open Source? What’s your definition of open standar?
Is it unique to Cocoon?
XSP is not unique to Cocoon because there is another implementation available in the AxKit (axkit.org).

Please note, I am _not_ trying to start a flame war (I'm on your side)! These are important questions that I will face, IMHO.
thanks,
Mike
