I think one area were Cocoon really lacks in functionality is administration. We briefly discussed this topic some months ago.
WDYT about implementing a prototype with JMX? Don't know how this could look like or what it can do, but perhaps someone with JMX knowledge has some cool ideas, she is willing to test implement into 2.2. Based on this prototype we could decide if it's worth going down this road or if we should search for a different solution.
I know that there are a lot of pros and cons for/against JMX - the discussion on the geronimo list is a good example of this. But it seems that every project is using JMX, so imho we shouldn't "invent" something different.
Ok, it seems that most of us like this idea - great.
Now, all we need is a volunter!! Anyone? - I can help with everything not directly related to JMX itself - if required.
