It does seem as if multiple people claimed to still be using Cocoon, but 
maintaining their own forks.
Why not bring exactly this back to the upstream project and join forces in 
maintaining it?

Betreff: Re: [RESULT] [VOTE] Move Apache Cocoon into the Apache Attic
Hi,

Sadly, there's not enough motivated individuals to keep the project running as 
is.
When we ran a poll 10 months ago, very few people actually volunteered to help 
keeping Cocoon 2.3 alive, and the reality of these past 10 months is that 
nobody has barely done anything to move forward.

Anyway, now that the Attic vote has passed, we have to move forward with the 
due process.

Hmm, good question actually. I wasn’t aware that the PR functionality was 
actually really used to add enhancements to the project and I always felt a 
little bit lost with the formal/administrative rules to get patches to the 
project, without being an official committer.

Anyway I would be willing to add all necessary changes to make cocoon 
compatible with spring 5+ in a PR

Cheerio,
Gabriel

Subject: Re: [RESULT] [VOTE] Move Apache Cocoon into the Apache Attic
It is sad, to let such a powerful project die. Having said that, we are using 
it still in production and trying to apply security patches on our own fork to 
make it compatible with newer versions of spring and java.

If the project would continue on github, I can just stress again that I would 
be very happy to participate and share all our patches.

Can you explain why you didn't via https://github.com/apache/cocoon ?

Just trying to understand whether github would really make a difference.

While I am still +1 for the attic (because I don't see anyone working on Cocoon 
in any form),
it feels a little sad if there are individually maintained forks that could as 
well be part of the project.

cheers,
Torsten
