I agree. But if you release today, then no one except those that have
touched those things or followed the developer list will know what
those features are much less how to use them.
A 2.2 M1 is for the benefit of the community and early adapters rather
than for a broad audience. It is for channeling community focus and
energy, which will cretate value for a broader audience after a while.
Neither the less we need to start a 2.2 Documentation effort:
Point me in the right direction, give me a tentative release date and
I will write up some documentation. Best offer I can give you today.
Thanks for the offer. Can't give you a tentative release date, but at
least some pointers:
We need a 2.2 branch of our documentation (maybe there allready is one?)
Documentation of (please everyone, provide relevant links to mail and
other documentation):
- ECM++
- Virtual sitemap components
(not particullary mature yet, but start with
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=111316710610638&w=2 and
ask on the list)
- blocks (sitemap blocks, exposing blocks)
Ongoing work, but the "sitemap aspect"
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=111791016006393&w=2 is
based on a large amount of community driven design, so it might be
worthwhile to start documenting. The "component aspect", and the OSGi
part need more work and discussion.
- per sitemap reloading classloader (for dev)
- reworked property management
- Spring integration (Spring block)
- possible to listen to sitemap events
- refactoring of Javaflow (uses now the commons-javaflow project which
was started by Thorsten)
- introduction of CTemplate (refactoring of JXTemplate in 2.1.x)
It should be completely back compatible with the original JXTG, but can
also be used in non flow environment. Leszek have added some features,
can you give links to relevant mails please.

I guess, collecting relevant links to mail and current documentation
snippets in the Wiki or in Daisy, would be a good first step.
WDYT?
