1.) www.cocoondev.org
    This is a great site but i expected this under cocoon!
<<

And soon it may well be. Remember the Cocoon project is an _Apache_ project
and therefore runs on Apache hardware etc. etc. The cocoondev.org site is
completely different. It was started by Steven Noels from Outerthought as
somewhere to showcase Cocoon based solutions. One day it will hopefully all
be together - but at the moment they are completely different things.

2.) http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/
    i found this pointer today in the struts discussion trail. I did not
    really investigate on this although it sounds quite interesting
    but again i thought this belongs strongly to cocoon, if it is
feasible...
<<

Again something completely different. A solution built on Cocoon - but it is
NOT Cocoon. In the same way we develop commercial products on top of
Cocoon - but they are not part of the Cocoon project. Anything that is
donated to the Cocoon project (such as our authentication components)
increases the code base and that does (or may) become part of the project.

Sorry again. I did not mean cocoon is cluttered around! I even did not want
to criticise anybody. i only mentioned there seems to be lots of work done
"around cocoon" which from my point of  view looks very interesting, but is
simply not under the umbrella of cocoon itself. So i.e. if i want to go into
such a component, i fear that i must leave the core cocoon... clearly
something to be avoided! Instead i ask again, why don't they come under the
cocoon umbrella and let all cocoon users participate without pain...
<<

Because the objectives may be very different. Some of the developments are
commercial built on top of Cocoon. Some are open source (like CocoBlog)
built on top of Cocoon and some are infrastructures (like cocoondev). At the
moment (because of the status of the Cocoon project) it is not possible to
easily have everything in one place. This is something that is currently
being pushed by the Cocoon project for the near future (at least as far as
the open source solutions go).

It's simply me, who is a bit confused, i didn't want to confuse you ;-) i
would only like to understand, why these "parallel projects" exist... I mean
if you look at tomcat, or the apache server, you will find add ons (like
SSL), plugins (myriads) and so, but not parallel development...)
