I am basically new to Cocoon. I am very impressed with what the project has done. In fact, about 2 years ago I was trying to develop a similar framework myself! I obviously didn't get far, but I am glad the rest of you did. To date (all over the past 3 days since deciding to use the product) I have download 2.0 and played with the samples. Bought and Read "Cocoon Developer's Handbook". Called Lajos Moczar (the author) and did a reality check that the project would work well with cocoon.
I am building a portal site that will have a database centric application at its core and a lot of articles and archived pdf. I decided to go with 2.1 because I really want to work within XMLForms or the newer forms framework (whos name slips my mind). Also I will be using Sunshine (aka sessions) as the portal and hope at some point to add in the CMS capabilities. I would like some opinions on the current state of the 2.1 project. I have been all over the wiki and can't seem to get a good feel for what is near completion and what is pre-alpha. I just don't know enough about the internals yet to make sense of the developers boards. Specifically -- Is Sunshine fairly stable, would you code to it if you knew that in 6 months it would be supporting a 20,000 user community? [ 5% of the users will spend 90% of the time here. The rest will transisient spending a several minutes a day here ] What about XMLForms? I noticed that it was left out of the almost stable list on the 2.1 website I have complex authentication needs. Lots of different Groups and Roles. What is the status of the Authentication Framework? The new form tool - Any comments? I am on a real fast track project. I need to avoid modules that are too young, but I am more than willing to work with anything that will be close to release within the year end and I am impressed with DEU simplicity of it (being a DEU myself). 2.1 -- Guesstimate on the GA date (Inquiring minds want to know) And of course any big gottchas in the 2.1m2 build that I am working with. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
