It sounds like it will be a new project outside of the Cocoon/Slide/Lenya/Forrest projects. Fair enough, that might be the best solution. But where is the planning to enable that? > Look at the Forrest community now. Do you think we are ready and willing > to lead such a design?

My concern was not necessarily that Forrest should be doing it, but rather that Forrest was born to do that, then lost its people, then had to modify its dreams. Let us get it right this time. Anyway, the Forrest community really does have all the Cocoon committers too. So it could be done there if that was the appropriate place. > To be honest, Stefano has already told us about it and already got > feedback from all these projects, so in fact he is already working with > our ACK.

Where can we talk about it and help to guide and build it?

You say "land here" .... Where? In Cocoon? Is it just a block maybe? --David
