Hi, for me it's also true : Didn't see any real need to got to 2.2. or beyond ! 2.1 does anything for me, huge apps with heavy load as well as quick solutions.
To the major problem of cocoon is : It's ready ! No burning needs for new functionality, no major tasks on the todo list. Fiddeling with another base framework ( spring instead of avalon ) or build tool ( maven vs. ant ) doesn't make any user more happy. I can do what I need any van even impress competitors with speed and performance. Maintainance mode or not, I'm happy with it !

Hi i totally agree with Bart. I'm away from Cocoon since 2.1.11. Cocoon 2.2 required from me a new learning curve. Since then i have moved to other technologies. For small sized web applications Cocoon forms are replaced by GWT. Of course i'm missing CForms and its powerful javascript as controller but now i have an IDE (eclipse with gwt-plugins) to work in. It's was more easy for me to adapt GWT than Cocoon 2.2. In any case i don't compare GWT with Cocoon. I still monitor cocoon's lists and i have always in my mind to find time to dig into C2.2 or/and C3. /stavros On Sun, Apr 18, 2010 at 1:17 PM, Bart Remmerie <[email protected]> wrote: Considering myself a 'normal' user (not developing cocoon), i lost >>track after 2.1.11 .
