I was planning to put what I have up on svn this week (although current agenda might make that slide into weekend or early next week) Just to get expectation managament right: - strictly speaking 'refactoring' isn't the appropriate word, since my current angle of attack is NOT maintaining any of the current functionality... - more bluntly: it's in current form a drastic step back in terms of functionality - so it's pretty much a 'from scratch' go at it in separate packages next to the existing stuff. As soon as this matures, gets feature-complete, and we create some transition xsl's / or at least transition guides we can get into deprecating the existing approach. - so 'major redesign' is probably a better wording to it, the main attempt is indeed to change the groundwork so it's easier to follow up on the jfc features in different releases (including enabling your own custom exploitation of those). That and taking up some other lingering feature requests, please check the recent discussions to get a better feeling of what is going on http://lists.cocoondev.org/pipermail/fins-dev/2006-March/thread.html (and consider subscribing to the list and joining in on the fun) -marc= -- Marc Portier http://outerthought.org/ Outerthought - Open Source, Java & XML Competence Support Center Read my weblog at http://blogs.cocoondev.org/mpo/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
