part 3: searches for and about Avalon

Where to find an example of using avalon?
-----------------------------------------
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Ajakarta.apache.org+jakarta+avalo
n+example

So you download and run JAMES, which works. So Avalon
is useful indeed. But according to its documentation,
it uses a snapshot that is several months old! So this
probably isn't the best example. But where is it?

How to find out about it in the first place?
--------------------------------------------
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=server+framework - second link
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=server+component - not in first 50
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Java/Server-
Side/Libraries_and_Frameworks/?tc=1 - second link
http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Programming_and_Development/Lang
uages/Java/ - not in yahoo! directory
http://www.theserverside.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=htdig&restrict=&exclude
=&method=and&format=long&sort=score&words=server+framework - second link

not bad, not bad at all.

How well are we advertised by projects that use us?
---------------------------------------------------
JAMES - http://jakarta.apache.org/james/ - top-of-first-page
Cocoon - http://xml.apache.org - not found! -
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Axml.apache.org%2Fcocoon+avalon
EOB - http://eob.sourceforge.net/ - bottom-of-first-page
Jesktop - http://www.jesktop.org/ - bottom-of-first-page

Sort-of-okay. I'm a bit dissapointed Cocoon doesn't advertise
its use of Avalon more. Then again, it doesn't mention it uses
xerces or xalan either, at least not prominently.

Overall, I'm not dissapointed =)
