Progress at and ideas from heml.mta.ca

[Bruce Robertson <br...@mta.ca>]

List members may be interested in our progress at the Historical Event Markup
and  Linking project, which uses Cocoon to transform XML documents into
historical timelines, tables maps and animations in SVG. Links to the eye-candy
are just off the home page: http://heml.mta.ca (Be sure to have the latest SVG
viewer from Adobe.)

Since heml is a reasonably complex site, its sitemap and innards might interest
those who are planning their own cocoon-based work. I can't claim it's anything
like best practices, but it works.

.war files tested against tomcat are available at http://heml.mta.ca/releases

As well, our build process might interest those who wish to keep their 
Cocoon-based project current with Cocoon's libraries. Our build.xml calls the
one from Cocoon, and copies over its jar files, then compiles and moves our
java, xslt and xml. Upgrading to 2.0.4 was thus a matter of changing an env.
variable.

ViewCVS for browsing is at:
http://heml.mta.ca/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/heml_cvs/

Anonymous cvs:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@heml.mta.ca:/home/heml/cvsroot checkout heml_cvs
password: anoncvs

Finally, a giant thank-you to those who toil at making Cocoon better and better
with each release. More than two years ago, I decided to base this project in
Cocoon2. Since then, I've felt as if I have a team of experts working on the
nitty-gritty while I get to work on the big picture.

Yrs,
