Hi all, I'm just curious about something. I've been reading the Cocoon-users list for a couple of weeks or so and I see a lot of folks in Europe (and Australia--Jeff T!) interested in Cocoon. I'm sure it's not a matter of Americans (& Canadians?) not being interested, I'm sure. (Oh, & Antonio, I don't want to leave you out!) Right?
With the utmost respect for the Project I observe that Cocoon is a bit of a fringe product as far as web development is concerned. I happen to believe this "fringe" is the leading edge of something big, which is why I'm here. So here's my question: If any of what I've said above has truth in it, is there a particular reason why Cocoon might have special appeal to Europeans? Is there something about the mindset of European programmers that leads them to Cocoon? Is Open-Source Software viewed differently, on the whole, in Europe than America? Does this have anything to do with Microsoft's influence in America? I guess that's more than one question! Interested in your observations... Reason I ask... I live in Seattle (Microsoft-land), and I'd love to find work using Cocoon and/or Java (but especially Cocoon!), but I don't see as much mindshare here as I think it deserves.
