we are aware of the fact that the sitemaps could use some cocoon TLC :) that said, we have started to clean our house, and are certainly very open to suggestions how this might be best done. i was talking with michael in the office today, and we now believe that it may make more sense to postpone this "sitemap cleanup" till after a move to apache (im hoping we make the vote :). we planned to submit a cleaned-up 1.0 to apache, but to be honest, the 1.0 label is more a "we are ok with it to go to apache now" rather than a very specific milestone. therefore we have quite some leeway to declare a 1.0. one concrete example: we are looking for a clean way to provide default functionality via the root sitemap, while still allowing for these defaults to be overwritten by publications. our current approach is less than ideal, and im sure there are better ways to do it. > > This said, Lenya can be a good starting point to talk about a CMS built > > upon Cocoon, even if I foresee major changes and challenges forthcoming. > > It seems to me anyway that the Wyona guys are more than open for > > discussing it and well aware that this Apache incubation might lead to > > something radically different to what they got until now, and this is > > good news. > > +1, they have already shown good spirit in answering my pesky (but > benevolent) remarks. heh :) > > In short: they have a codebase, and they have a good community around > > it, so here is my (informal) +1 to this incubation, together with a > > personal commitment to follow closely this project and help wherever I can. > > I'm glad to see you jump up as well. what is the next step for us, besides soliciting more comments on the proposal? i guess at some point there will be a vote in the cocoon pmc? -gregor -- Gregor J.
