Re: Is cocoon dead ?

I'm not surprised at all.  Looking 3cm. down the same page you find
the next most recent news is a year and a half old.  When people ask
about C2.x (and the latest released version is 2.2) nobody wants to
talk about it (except others desperate for information about some
aspect of C2); one is told to use C3.  C3 has been alpha for perhaps
two years -- there is as yet no beta, let alone a release.  There are
no books on anything later than 2.1, which is about a decade old.
Perhaps 80% of the official documentation is either TBW or skeletal,
and the only people who know the inside of Cocoon well enough to
complete it keep asking others to do that.  Bugs with patches attached
languish for years.  Seemingly everyone using Cocoon is running a
unique local version with scads of patches that are passed around like
ancient lore.

Why would anyone think Cocoon is dead?
