new marketing strategy and dealing with all the due credits and copyright restrictions
Thanks for the copyright stuff! Some remarks:
+ Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept
+ of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job
+ without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web + RAD.
The term RAD has a very (out)dated sound in my ears. Surely RAD is OK, but people will hear RAD and understand '4GL'. My rephrasing:
Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concepts of separation of concerns (making sure people can interact and collaborate on a project, without stepping on each other toes) and component-based web development.
+ Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component
+ pipelines' modelled after the 'process chain' concept where each + worker specializes on a particular operation. This makes it possible
+ to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions where
+ these components can be hooked together into pipelines without
+ requiring further programming.
That first sentence is very 'jserv-like'. ;-) I would reduce verbiage into:
Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component pipelines', each component on the pipeline specializing on a particular operation. This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions, hooking together components into pipelines without any required programming.
+ We like to think at Cocoon as "web glue" for your web application
+ development needs. But most important, a glue that can keep + concerns separate and allow parallel evolution of the two sides, + improving development pace and reducing the chance of conflicts.
"What two sides?"... Also, maybe we should sound a little bit stronger:
Cocoon is "web glue for your web application development needs". It is a glue that keeps concerns separate and
+ Cocoon has been designed to interoperate side-by-side with your J2EE^^^^^^^^^^^^
"coexist and interoperate"? (introducing more verbiage ;-)
