Is Lepido abandoned?

[Mikael Olenfalk <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi!

I just noticed that Lepido (the Cocoon IDE for Eclipse) has been
archived on the Eclipse homepage. Has the project been abandoned or
has it just moved to another location?

Regards,

Mikael

I assume you mean Sylvain - I wasn't involved in Lepido, so I'm afraid
I cannot help ;-)

I don't know if it will do any good to say this, but the abandonment of 
Lepido is a great loss for webapp developers using Cocoon. Just think 
how much easier debugging would be if we had a sitemap 
step-through-and-trace debugger in an IDE. All those times you wondered 
just *where* that parameter failed to get passed, or where the cincluded 
pipeline was going wrong.

Maybe it's our collective fault for not volunteering to help on the 
project. Personally, I was not aware that Lepido was in any danger of 
failing, until someone mentioned off-hand that it was already dead. 
Maybe it would have done better if it was continually publicized more on 
this this list and on the Cocoon web site.
In any case, I think we have missed a very important opportunity. It's 
not every day you have someone with the knowledge and skills of Bertrand 
who is willing and able to lead this kind of project.

I think a project like Lepido would be (and Cocoon already has been) of 
enough value to our organization that my boss might be willing to let me 
spend some time helping with it. I'm going to ask. It would take some 
time for me to get up to speed on the internals of Cocoon, but that 
would be a worthwhile investment in several ways. Maybe if several of us 
do this, and contact Bertrand with a definite "Yes I can and will help," 
he will reopen the project. Hope springs eternal!

Lars

It's abandoned. In short, because no developers around.
