I'd like to spend some time on a proof of concept version of Forrest without Cocoon, whether that's whiteboard/forrest2 or a new approach. One of the requirements, or at least functional tests, that has already been mentioned with respect to forrest2 is that the seed site must function correctly. I think this implies that current style plugins need to be supported.
To support current plugins requires sitemap and locationmap implementations that don't depend on Cocoon. It looks difficult, but not impossible, to extract sitemap support from the Cocoon source. Is this the way to go? Implement support for sites and plugins as they exist now, and use a new format for new development? What are the other requirements to move away from Cocoon? Is there community interest to move away from Cocoon? Brian
