Hi all, been hanging out a long time and am now using Cocoon in production for a few apps, and cannot imagine going back to ye olde way.
Welcome.
What can I do to help out? (ie -- any pointers on what needs doing and no one has stepped up to plate for).
Create a development/live toggle for Cocoon: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=105347757500001&r=1&w=2
Of course a lot of what was missing from Xpatch during that thread has since been added (see wiki). The xpatch now has if and unless ant-style properties which react on either an ant property or a node's existence in the target file, as well as property-expansion.
What is still missing and would be helpful (and pretty dead easy I think) would be to allow build-time switching user build properties and blocks properties. I.e., instead of always using local.blocks.properties, allow something like -Dproperties.prefix=live which would cause the build to use live.blocks.properties instead. Actually, that's probably a two liner in init-build.xml
