Cocoon PMC report, February 2005

[Sylvain Wallez <sy...@apache.org>]

I'm really sorry for this late report. For some unknown reason, I 
thought the board meeting was to be held next week.

So here's the February 2005 report for the Cocoon project.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Community:
- Cocoon 2.1.6 has been released in November. This is a maintainance 
release. Cocoon 2.2 development is going on, and we reduced its original 
scope to allow for an earlier release as it already includes a number of 
much wanted improvements.

- The Java continuation engine and Java compiler interface that had 
being written in Cocoon have been moved to the Jakarta commons sandbox 
(JavaFlow and JCI) because we felt they could be used in a number of 
other contexts and may attract other developpers.

- there's an ongoing effort to refactor our documentation and its 
writing process, at the poor structuration of our docs is a major 
problem for newcomers.

- a new french-speaking user list has been created as an answer to the 
fact that many Cocoon-related questions where asked on other 
french-speaking lists and forums.

Legal:
The legal issues related to the Mozilla Rhino fork supporting 
continuations are solved, as we now use the latest official version 
which has continuation support.

It is, I was the one who made the erroneous statement it might have been 
this week.  So you're definitely on time, thanks!
