<h1>Apache Cocoon</h1>

<p>Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concepts of
separation of concerns and component-based web development.</p>

<p>Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component pipelines',
each component on the pipeline specializing on a particular operation. This
makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions,
hooking together components into pipelines without any required programming.</p>

<p>Cocoon is "web glue for your web application development needs". It is a glue
that keeps concerns separate and allows parallel evolution of all aspects of a
web application, improving development pace and reducing the chance of
conflicts.</p>

<h1>The Apache Cocoon Project</h1>

<p>The <em>Apache Cocoon Project</em> is the open source community project
developing Apache Cocoon and Cocoon-based application frameworks. With strong
foundations in XML-based server-side web application frameworks, the Apache
Cocoon Project consists of a group of people that share common values on
collaboration-intensive and community-based quality open source development. The
Apache Cocoon Project is proud to share these values with its parent
organization: The Apache Software Foundation.</p>

<p>The Apache Cocoon project currently consists of <a href="daisy:653">Apache
Cocoon</a> itself. The <a href="http://lenya.apache.org/">Lenya</a> CMS, which
is now a top-level project, started its life at Apache as an
<a href="daisy:1173">incubating</a> Cocoon subproject.</p>

<p>The <a href="daisy:1175">links section</a> also lists a number of
Cocoon-related projects and resources.</p>

<h1>Documentation</h1>

<p>The documentation is located in each module and on the website under each
specific Cocoon version. There is also the community effort to maintain the
extensive <a href="http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/">Cocoon Wiki</a>.</p>
