Well, Seattle is a LONG way from D.C.--about 4-5 days' drive each way, for those who aren't familiar with the scale of the North American continent. I was in D.C. over Christmas, though--too bad I hadn't asked my question yet! Would love to see a CHUG if only to raise the prominence of Cocoon on this side of the pond.
I participate in the Seattle Java Users Group (SeaJUG--www.seajug.org), and Cocoon has come up in discussion a number of times lately--there's definately awareness of it. The XML-SIG for the group is especially interested, of course.
