Hi Mark,
No problem, I just reacted on the the word "mundane". I'm geek enough to find some of the threads at dev-list exciting ;)
I it is great that you work on aggregating Cocoon info from various sources, there is certainly a need for that.

Hi Daniel,
Yes, I do read the dev list discussions. My sentence quoted below, in all its bareness, could appear dismissive so I apologise as that was not my intention. The many useful discussions on the dev list (about the makeup and design of blocks for example) shouldn't be ignored.
That said, I do feel that Cocoon-related blog entries have their place too. An example I often refer to is Sylvain's "Cocoon 2.2 will rock!" post (see http://www.anyware-tech.com/blogs/sylvain/archives/000171.html). This is a very nice potted summary of what we can look forward too in the next version. In addition, if you type "Cocoon 2.2" into Google this is easily the first (only?) summary you will find.
My opinion is that there is a lot of Cocoon related activity on the web - not just in the mailing lists. I'm looking at ways of aggregating it all together.
Regards, Mark

The blogs tend to give a much more exciting, future-oriented view of Cocoon than the mailing lists, which I suppose are dealing with more mundane, day-to-day issues.
Are you actually reading dev-list, about all core parts of Cocoon has been proposed and designed on dev-list? If you search the archive and look for "[RT]" then you can find tons of future-oriented views of Cocoon. Blogs are great, but like it or not, we have developed a rather efficient community culture that is based on mail-list discussions.
