Hi all,

I asked Bjorn Freeman-Benson this week (he's the technical director, open source process and infrastructure of the Eclipse foundation) about the things that have to be done within the proposal phase of an Eclipse project.

He was just coming back from vacation and didn't had time for much details, but here's the interesting quote: "The end of the review period is when it appears that the discussion has properly gelled around the concepts and ideas. In your case, because you're so focused and organized, this will be shorter than for other projects. It may even already be true."

Good news. However, even if the Lepido proposal [1] contains a number of features, and many people expressed their interest in the project when I announced it, not much people provided actual feedback since this newsgroup was opened.

Chicken and egg problem, I guess people are waiting for the code to land in CVS to start being more active, but we won't have the CVS until enough feedback has been given (remember however that my company's plugins and their source are already available for download [2]).

So, what do you think of the planned features? Does they fit with your view of a Cocoon IDE? What other features would you like to have?

Please provide us feedback either here or on the wiki page [3].




We have not discuss anything about wizards

recently i have to use fragment extractor transformer and generator
and notice that there is no documentation at all (docs, wike, google)
i have found ,finaly, my way thanks to cocoon list

it will be nice if simple wizards produce simple samples for each generator/transformer
just like Eclipse's wizards for some extension points.



Sorry for the delay guys. I'm on vacation this week and hadn't much time for email :-/


Interesting idea. How do you see the use of such wizards? Is it something like "insert sitemap snippet here", leading the user to a snippet library where he can choose and configure a sitemap code fragment?

IIRC, Sunbow has this concept of sitemap fragment. Jens, any input on this?
