in short: re-integrate ourselves into what's hot at apache. sounds like
a very worthy goal to me.

i'll definitely sign up as an early adopter and beta tester. how long it
will take me to become reasonably familiar with cocoon-2.2 to be
actually useful, i don't know.
what i do know though, is that i got a very good book on cocoon-2 which
was the key to getting me started with lenya. can anyone recommend any
dead-tree publications about cocoon-2.2 in either english or german?
