Steven, Cocoon-Users,

Do you really want to help in this quest? Then please help us by taking a look at the 
latest
C2Beta2 and submit patches, docs, anything you think will be useful. This is the only 
way we can
grow. All of us on the C2 Dev team have "regular" jobs AFAIK. If you want to see 
changes, more
people need to get their hands dirty with the code. Giving specific 
information/patches will be of
more help than talking in general terms :) FYI, C2.1 is just C2.0 + some experimental 
code that
people have submitted that we don't want to lose. 

Thanks,
dims
