Oh gawd...don't get me started with this "proprietary" argument. ;-)
JSP is a hell of a lot more "proprietary" than anything else out there
considering the fact that the ONLY people who have final design decisions on
the specification is Sun. On top of it, Sun's *main* motivation for
developing JSP is simply to compete against M$ ASP. Talk about proprietary.
The same argument could be made about Turbine as WebMacro or Freemarker. If
you think that W/F is proprietary, then why don't you think that Turbine is?
Let me end this with this statement:
All truly Open Source software is NOT proprietary in any way. Period. End of
discussion.

The subject of this message is communication about integrating Cocoon into
Turbine. Yes, we want to offer that as a solution as well.
But, for those of us, like myself, who do not believe (yet...ie: prove me
wrong) that XSL is the right way to go, we want alternative solutions, ie:
freemarker and webmacro.

Cool! How about contributing your code to do this back to the project?

Try www.mozilla.org. Good luck though, you are trying to be way more cutting
edge than most Intranets can withstand IMHO.
