Success stories
Sorry to be here in this mailing list. I just wanted to point out that
there's no easy way to find a list of Cocoon success stories. We are
evaluating Cocoon for a banking application as a foundation to build our
own customized form generation system. It would help a lot if I could
show where Cocoon is being used (big names preferrred). I suggest you
put that information somewhere visible. Other projects already do that
(http://subversion.tigris.org/testimonials.html,
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsWebLinks).
I know it can soud unfair but enterprises pay attention to "who has
already used that?" when evaluating products. Considere adding such a list.
If there's a page I've missed please tell me, I'd need that info!
Thanks!

Hi Nicolás,
there is a section called "Live Sites" on the Cocoon Website which lists
many websites running a certain version of Cocoon:
http://cocoon.apache.org/link/livesites-2.1.html
http://cocoon.apache.org/link/livesites-2.0.html
http://cocoon.apache.org/link/livesites-1.x.html
Perhaps you can find there what you are looking for ...
HTH,
Andreas

If "big names in a small part of a small country" apply, I have two
live examples (their content is in French but you'll get the idea), and
a few more references below. People, bear with me if you've heard this
before ;-)
http://www.nouvo.ch/ is the website of "nouvo", a TV show of the
national Swiss television (french-speaking branch) which is about
innovation, gadgets, multimedia etc. In addition to being a very
important part of the show, the website is used as a kind of laboratory
to test new ideas for video distribution and audience interaction.
We'll be adding video forums next week, for audience interaction via
webcams, using Flash-based video integrated in the Cocoon-generated
website. I can't say more for now but this is public information
already, so here you go.
They're very happy with the system and it's very stable, more info on
my weblog at
http://codeconsult.ch/bertrand/archives/000566.html
http://codeconsult.ch/bertrand/archives/000370.html
The same Cocoon-based core is used to run http://archives.tsr.ch/home
where the historical video archives of the same TV network
(http://www.tsr.ch) are published.
See http://codeconsult.ch/bertrand/archives/000570.html.
This is all public information, so feel free to cite these projects as
references, or ask me off-list if you need more details.
I haven't checked if someone mentioned Jack Iver's and friends
presentation at the last GT, you can find it at
http://www.cocoongt.org/Slides-and-recordings.html.
The presentation mentions the Webby award-winning "Merck Manual Second
Home Edition" website, which also runs on Cocoon.
Other big names references around here are Otego's work for the Swiss
Interbank Clearing, search for
otego "swiss interbank clearing" cocoon
on Google.
And also SWX, the electronic Swiss Exchange, mentioned in
http://cocoon.apache.org/link/livesites-2.1.html
Hope this helps,
-Bertrand

Another interesting list might be
http://codeconsult.ch/bertrand/archives/000389.html. We had a "success
stories" session at the Cocoon GetTogether 2004. That's what Bertrand's
post is about. The minutes of the session can be found at
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/GT2004Gianugo.

Could you give me some details about this? I would be very interested.

Cocoon is also used by a large european airplane manufacturer (are there
many of them? :-) ), and for large CMS/DMS in the french administration
and many french universities.

I can't give you anything official either, but we have used cocoon over the
past 2 years on multiple projects at Pfizer, Xerox, and Kodak. It is also
at the heart of Realnet, which is currently installed at Bank of America and
Freddie Mac. So, those are some pretty big names.

Sorry guys, when asking around the various people who were with me on
stage I got a few of them who didn't like the idea of such material
being available for download, this is why it hasn't been published. I
can't blame them for that, actually I'm happy for what I've got which
was a massive attention and willingness to collaborate.
BUT, Nicolas, do get in touch with me: I have a few references for you
of banking projects and I'm more than willing to help you in the
evaluation process.

Hi Nicolás,
Glad to see you considering Cocoon. I think it is a good choice.
Unfortunately, I tried to find the Gianugo presentation online but seems
like there is not. Maybe Gianugo can share with us the presentation in
http://cocoon.apache.org/mirror.cgi under "Material form events
presentations".
Gianugo? :-)

We can at least provide "official" hints:

There is also Dresdner Bank and Vodafone ...and I know O2 is using it
...and there are a few more banks. Not sure about there official
statements though.

Hello Nicolás,
yes, there is such a page, at least as pure list of links:
http://cocoon.apache.org/link/livesites-2.1.html. With the big names it
is somewhat difficult. You have to search them in the list. The "big"
names that I would mention are vnunet.com, the Eurex and Eurex US and
the Swiss Exchange.
This pure list was extended to success stories or with additional
information some time ago:
http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/documentation/695.html. But not so
many links were added with this additional information up to now.
Hope this helps.
