Dear Cocoon users and developers,
Sorry for crossposting here, I wanted to be sure that all involved
people were aware of the ongoing discussions.
We recently pushed a new release of Cocoon, 11 years after the previous
one. This release gathers all changes made in between as well as two
security fixes discovered last year.
The journey to roll this release out was definitively not an easy one,
and it's now time to think about what should be next for the project.
We currently officially maintain 3 branches, not compatible with each
others and having evolved differently over the years : 2.1.x, 2.2/2.3
and 3.0, and we do not have enough active developers to be able to
continue to properly and correctly maintain them.
For a project as old as Cocoon (21 years!), there may be many users
around here still using one branch or another, which could be interested
to step up, contribute and try to revive the project, or at least some
parts of it.
I will soon start 3 threads on the developers list to decide what to do
about each of the 3 branches (retiring or not), so I encourage
volunteers to bring their voices.
Best regards,
Cédric, on behalf of the Apache Cocoon PMC
