Hi Cocoon community,
Here at Anyware, we have dozens of Cocoon-2.1 based applications in
production.
We've hacked Cocoon a lot, so that migrating to most recent releases of
Cocoon is not an option for us at the moment
Cocoon 2.1 is a *very* stable framework, especially the core, but I
recently came across a bug and discovered that, even if I provide a
patch, there will be nobody to commit it, let alone release the next
2.1.12 maintenance version.
Diving in the ML archives, I discovered than Carsten, the last 2.1
release manager, resigned from the job almost two years ago [1], and
that nobody took over.
So I'm wondering if someone around here was still willing to maintain
the Cocoon-2.1 branch ?
If not, I volunteer to do the job, as this branch is important for us,
and I don't want to have to fork it in our own repository.
Otherwise, do you have other solutions for me ?
BTW, is there still many Cocoon-2.1 users around here ?
Trust me, you are not alone. We are still using cocoon 2.1.9 for some
fairly large deployments. Some of these deployments are in dialy use by
the large multinationals so our trusty cocoon system will be with us for
quite some time.
+1 from me and I'd also be willing to help maintain.
Alec,
