Maybe if it were RELEASED.... From the cocoon.apache.org homepage: Apache Cocoon 3 Corona was accepted by the Cocoon PMC to become Apache Cocoon 3. The Cocoon 3 website has more details. A first ALPHA release will follow soon. [more] submitted by Reinhard P�tz, 8/14/08 7:23:55 AM [That is the LATEST entry in the News section.] Download the latest version: Apache Cocoon Version 2.2.0 Some documentation that tells us a little more than "TBD" would also help promote Cocoon. I have what I think is still the latest book on Cocoon. It's from 2003. IIRC 2.1 entered beta while the book was being completed. It has a whole chapter about Avalon, which you can hardly even find anymore. It's still a godsend if you want to find out how Cocoon was meant to be used. For everyone outside the project, 2.2 hasn't quite finished happening yet and 3.0 is just a wild rumor. People who built their products around Cocoon feel abandoned. Nothing is happening. Bug reports seem to be immortal -- even the ones with fixes attached. Gee, why would Cocoon be losing its user base? -- Mark H.
