Cocoon (arguably one of the biggest and most important "clients" for avalon) is using CVS drops of these projects:
excalibur-component excalibur-sourceresolve excalibur-store excalibur-xmlutil fortress-container fortress-tools excalibur-logger
This is an undesirable situation.
Previously, release of some of these components was blocked because of a lack of documentation. The net result is that there is still no documentation, cocoon is using custom-built packages, and many cocoon people don't feel like coming near avalon because there won't be much oppurtunity to benefit from the work they do here (which is, simply put, not very likely to be on documentation).
That's also an undesirable situation.
So lets loosen those documentation requirements a little.
Proposal: if working and thoroughly tested (with verifiable results of course) versions of the packages mentioned above are produced, lets agree to release them even if their documentation may not be exactly what we would like it to be.
I think the only alternative is to let these packages die a slow and painful death. We'll lose one of our biggest clients.
