[Fwd: Why ${this.Project} is successful?]
Here's a mail from Derek Hohls to cocoon-users:
<snip>
How are we doing in comparison to our peers - see:
http://www.hibernate.org/38.html
Think about how Cocoon is doing on these points which
are, I think, valid for pretty much any OS project -
but even more so as the scope gets wider, new features
are added and the community grows in both size and
range (from newbies to veterans, with a bias towards the
former...)
Derek
</snip>
Looking at the points on the linked page, I have to
admit that Lenya could do better in some of them :)

Massive potential for improvement.
> regression tests
The same. But I think this is quite difficult
in a web-based application.
> do one thing well
This has been discussed quite frequently and
there are different opinions in the community ...
> avoid over-design
I think we score quite high at this.

This one has strongly improved during the last
months, thanks to all the external contributors.

This has also improved.
> developer responsiveness
"24 hours is a good target for the average response
time between a bug report and the CVS fix."
This sounds impracticable, doesn't it?
> easily update-able wiki pages.....
We have them.

agreed. For a start let's do another RC: 1.2rc4

I still think we should make better use of webtests

I think actually we agree on doing one thing, but not what
the one thing is ;-)

but we still need to get better and especially update the actual website
more often

it has, but we still have to improve a lot.
Maybe during the sprint/hackathon we should address some of the topics
above.

Some of these points are closely related.
A "rapid release schedule" to "to keep the project bug-free" very much depends
on automatic "regression tests". Using Gump would be an important step. (See
http://gump.cocoondev.org/ and http://gump.apache.org/). But to do that a
cocoonified build-process would help - and that would perhaps also help with "up
and running in ten minutes or less".
