Thanks for all your comments & suggestions. Let's see how lyric I am today:
"The Apache Cocoon Community Project fosters community-based exploration, design and implementation of web application frameworks with a focus on XML pipelining, centralized configuration mechanisms and separation of concerns through composability rather than programmability, by combining and adding onto existing Apache and other open source libraries. It hosts web application development frameworks, applications built on these frameworks, and development tools built for these frameworks and applications."
Sounds good. Concern though is that it reads 'web-centric'. Whilst Cocoon is 'primarily' about web publishing and applications, it is not 'exclusively' about that. Get that in there somewhere, and I'll be happy!
would just dropping "web" from "web application frameworks" work?
Okay, I'll bite:
"The Apache Cocoon Community Project fosters community-based exploration, design and implementation of application frameworks, specifically but not exclusively web related. It focuses on XML pipelining, centralized configuration mechanisms and separation of concerns through composability rather than programmability, by combining and extending existing Apache and other open source libraries. It hosts application development frameworks, applications built on these frameworks, and development tools built for these frameworks and applications."
How's that?
