cocoondev.org warming up
I have three new cocoondev.org-hosted initiatives in my backlog for tomorrow: Luca's JFreeChartTransformer, Geoid for a hatching GIS-on-Cocoon initiative, and a Cocoon webmail showcase. It's nice to see so many new things getting started around Cocoon. Today, I did an XSLT seminar, and also showcased Cocoon. People looked very interested, even after being brain-stuffed all day long with XSLT basics and the not-so-trivial wonders of the XPath data model. Next, I need to write up my paper for XML Europe. I also sent in a proposal for the NLUUG Spring conference on 22/May, trying to spread the Cocoon word as much as possible. Next week will be a very intense Cocoon-related week, hopefully with a good outcome. And the week thereafter, we get to install Forrest at one of our customers, so I'll need to get up to speed with what has been happening during the last few weeks.Besides, I'm thinking of how I can let the Wiki and Cocoon play nice together, and I have a vague 'copious free time' intention to try adding some Forrest migration targets to the Cocoon build. It's about time Cocoon starts using Forrest, but the amount of information is that huge, that nobody dares to just do it.
