If you wish top rewrite history, I suggest inventing a time machine, going back several years, and rewriting Cocoon so that it never used Jisp. If you are not capable of doing that, we must exist within the existing timeline in which Jisp was (and still is) used by Apache.
Or are your somehow going to make Jisp vanish from all the existing Cocoon installations?
I will rewrite my web site to reflect the eventual removal of Jips from Cocoon, since you have patently refused my offer to help maintain a fork of older code, specific to Apacghe. My offers of cooperation have been met with absolute "Our way, or the highway."
Scott, I agree with you that we have no rights in asking you to change anything from your site or your software because you are not abusing the terms or the apache name in any way. Please, do what you feel is most appropriate.
Please understand that cocoon is a community. Unless stated very clearly, every person speaks on him/her behalf only. Obviously, myself included.
I also appreciate very much your offer to maintain Jisp 2.x, but as I mentioned before, we are trying to move away from dependencies that could easily break. A single person can get tired of it and move on, or get hit by a bus, or anything. A community is much more resistant to changes.
But, as you see in the other thread, I really think we don't need Jisp at all (not because of limits of the software, but because of how we use it!), so that would solve all issues at once.
But of course, it is a community decision, I'm just throwing in my suggestions.
