Ah yes, that's true that we don't directly discuss business here, but 
I'm surprised that people were pissed because of this kind of question. 
I guess most of the people doing their living with Cocoon are on this 
list, but it's also not really the place for business discussions.

Nicola Ken long ago started a list about opensource-related business, 
but I don't remember its address.

Maybe this list had a too broad scope or not enough visibility. But at 
the same time, I don't think a business@cocoon.apache.org is part of the 
ASF charter.

That was over at krysalis.org. He closed it a few weeks ago because
there was not enough traffic.
