Lenya is built on top of Apache Cocoon and other components from the Apache Software Stack. Its XML-centric architecture allows for content delivery targeted to the capabilities of various devices, and avoids data lock-in. Apache Lenya is built around Off the Shelf components from the Apache Software Foundation. Apache Lenya comes with the features you can expect of a modern Content Management System, such as Revision Control, Scheduling, a built-in Search Engine, separate Staging Areas, and Workflow. Because Apache Lenya is based on Cocoon, you can use Cocoon features such as robust Caching, multi-channel output, it's many connectivity options to quickly build customized solutions to meet your specific needs that are not already covered by Apache Lenya today. > > This can do harm to the cocoon community, have you thought about that? > > What sort of harm can you foresee?

I like things happening here on this list and then going into the docu. I just find it weird that you want to reload the documentation on an extern project. Will you commit them back to the community? Do not get me wrong, your site looks useful. salu2 -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
