Hi Christophe Having been developing extensions for two DSpace repositories for a short time in JSP and now Cocoon I must say I would be dismayed if the DSpace community decided to drop Cocoon. Cocoon is extremely powerful and perfect for what I have been doing. There may be a learning curve with Cocoon but that goes for any new technology. Having recently upgraded DSpace 1.5.0 to 1.5.1, I was very pleased not to have to go through every locally modified JSP (and Java) file and manually merge them with the new version, as was the case the JSP version.
