I'm currently using XMLC with Turbine. I'm using it only for presentation,
and using Turbine's Action model as is.
FYI - XMLC has been under a modified MPL license for a long time, but the
Enhydra team has just made it easier to get at for people who don't want
their entire server.
In any case, once I get out of crunch mode (going live with a new site in a
few weeks) I'm going to clean up the way I've done the XMLC/Turbine
integration to make it like the WM/FM implementation. Is anyone else
interested in this?
