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?

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.

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 From: Torsten Curdt <tcu...@apache.org><mailto:tcu...@apache.org> Date: Wednesday, 11.

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
