Hi David,
I'm just about to embark on a new project... I'd like to use Cocoon
2.2 for this, but I'm concerned about the apparent lack of support for it.
It is true that Cocoon has hit a low point at the moment and I'm sure
many of us wonder if it will ever recover. Many of the original
contributors have moved on to other things and officially version 2 (and
2.2) are in 'maintenance mode'. Version 3 is still being worked on but
to be honest it looks so different that you will be starting again from
scratch compared to version 2.
It's a great shame as I really thought version 2.2 was beginning to gain
traction.
Can anyone suggest any resources that will help me get started with
Cocoon 2.2?
I would archive that book on version 2! It will be of little use to you
when working with 2.2.
Most of the useful documentation can be found here: -
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/dev-docs/2.2/1159_1_1.html
But you should be aware that this is the 'published' version of the
documentation. It may be the case that the 'unpublished' versions are
more up to date. To get to them you can click on the link at the bottom
of the page where it mentions 'Errors and Improvements'. This link will
take you to the Daisy CMS which is what Cocoon members use to write and
edit documentation before it gets published.
Yes!... It is a horrible mess and I have commented about this before but
was persuaded it was for the best.
I'm concerned that interest in and support for Cocoon is dying out.
Would I be better off choosing a completely different technology for
my project?
I would say think seriously before you commit another year or two of
your life to learning it!
Regards,
David Legg
