Sorry, just to clarify: [+1] on reviving/maintaining Cocoon 2.3+, meaning that you volunteer to be somehow involved. Main point for us never considering C3 was that it somehow never left alpha state and that it did not support cocoon forms AFAIKT Cheers, Gabriel

(Was: Re: Future of the Cocoon project) Even if in the end we decide to keep 2.3.x running, we probably should go through the module list and retire some of the modules. I know that for some I couldn’t update to good versions, as the technology they use was abandoned. So, cutting the hair of our modules, might be necessary.

(Was: Re: Future of the Cocoon project) -1 on retiring cocoon 2.3.x. It needs some more love in maintaining but it works even with spring 5 and java 11(for us). Would like to see it run with spring boot. Migrating to github and having a fork/PR workflow could bring some Traktion on it's own from willing supporters/users. What could be a valid goal would maybe to repackage cocoon with docker so that it can be easily used by 2.1.x users?
