Nevertheless, a store package is imho a very nice think that you can need in every project. The avalon-components project has a similar approach from cornerstone. THere has always been the idea of merging both packages. Perhaps we could try this again? One of the problems of the store package is imho that it just works. THere is no real need to improve or document it (things that are working are always bad for open source as no community builds around it).

The xmlutils package is a very nice one (I think) and it has imho the same problem as store: it works We could try for both packages to ask the Cocoon community if they can help us with the two packages: write docs etc. Perhaps we get a positive answer.
