That is sad news. But all good things come to an end.

Anyway even today I don't find any RESTful like framework that still got
that versatility of defining woking URLs "methods" on-the-fly and
extensibility like Apache Cocoon! I mean really 4GL framework..

But future has come and today we have 5GL frameworks that enables us
to _define_ WHAT we want to achieve, not HOW. And this is the imminent
future.

But the concept of Pipelines that introduced Apache Cocoon will stay with
us for a long time! That is absolutely BRILLIANT! And Henry Ford would be
PROUD that Apache Cocoon was first of its style to implement that "feature"
known from 18th decade Factories.

Thank you guys for your involvement in this project. We are still using
Cocoon at production
and for a future time being we will be using it (over 15 years of
development produced tons of code :) that
is not so easy to "rewrite" or replace with something new :)

Anyway Apache Cocoon made us survived the worst times and those good too -
like a partner in marriage or a loving Son! :) We will definitely miss that
kind of joy, happiness and professional career "enabler" :)

Thank you.

Greetings,
Greg
