Hi board,
Here's the November 2004 report for the Cocoon project.
Community:
- The 3rd Cocoon GetTogether, yearly meeting of Cocoon users and developers, whas held as is usual now in Gent (Belgium) in early october. That was again a great success with 140 people coming from 17 countries, an active hackaton and interesting presentations.
- There was a relative traffic slowdown on the dev list during spring and summer, mostly because people were very busy. After the GetTogether, the activity on the dev list raised back to its usual traffic and lots of interesting discussions are happening.
- We have two new committers, Ralph Goers and Leszek Gawron.
- Cocoon 2.1.6, is planned to be released next week, this is a maintainance release while development continues on the 2.2 branch.
- Lenya is no more a in the Cocoon TLP as it successfully exited incubation and moved to top-level.
- The death of Avalon and the fact that our component manager is considered as deprecated by the Excalibur project led us to fork it. These are only 15 source files, which allow us to master the foundations on which Cocoon is built.
Legal:
The legal issues we had with the Rhino fork supporting continuations are about to be solved, as the Mozilla Rhino team has added continuation support in the official Rhino, and Cocoon will therefore abandon the fork in favor in the official distribution.
