Incredible enough! 8-0 BTW, tell then they are totally outdated. :-D > Actually on the site there is no particular > endorsement of XSP, but there not either a word of warning about this > approach being "deprecated" in favor of the flow idea.

I had concerns and tought about this for long time: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=103543889904222&w=2 As an "old" XSP user I think XSP is good for some rapid prototyping and for some small sites (Matthew and Carten book stated about it clearly). The problems using XSP in webapp I painfull learned while working with it. :-( I think we will continue supporting XSP because Cocoon can be used as Web publishing framework or a Webapp framework. Also XSP is a good entry point for many people from the ASP, PHP world. They feels like fish in the water with XSP. :-D I really no wonder why peope still think XSP is the great Gig in the Cocoon town, because if you google around you will feel this is the way Cocoon goes. To be honest I don't google about this for a long time but still early this year this was the tendency. OK. I google again :-D here the results: Search for: "Apache Cocoon" results: 447,000 (we are slowing growing!)
