News and updates

On October 2nd and October 3rd, the days before the Cocoon Gettogether 2006, there is a Hackathon foreseen at the Felix Meritis Foundation building in the center of Amsterdam.

The main idea is to use this page to hack together some agenda for both days, please make this a joint effort. There's one big moshpit-like room available for us on the 2nd or 3rd floor, which can hold up to 60 or 80 people.

The Hackathon will start on both days at 9:00 AM and ends around 18:00. There'll be food on both days, on monday in the room itself and on tuesday outside. In the evenings the room is available for use until 23:00. There's no evening program defined, but anything goes, so jot down any ideas below.

Infrastructure and logistics

[ArjeCahn] There will be:

• food
• drinks
• long tables
• WiFi access
• Some hubs for wired access (bring your own cable!!)
• plenty of power outlets
• fairly large whiteboard (will 3 normal ones do?)
• 3 flip charts
• tape to assemble pages
• beamer + screen to beam on
  

Other things needed?

Hacking ideas

Need ideas!

• [HelmaVanDerLinden] Once again I'll do my best to get some documentation done. More specific:

  • Maven documentation
  • Restructure of Cocoon docs, more specific - moving version independent, mavenish info (mailing lists, svn access etc.) to a separate (Daisy) location
  • Article(s) on Cocoon
  • Whatever else can be decided
    

• [ArjeCahn] What about writing a Cocoon article for xml.com (or something else) together?

• [BertrandDelacretaz] I'd like to prepare a binary 2.1.x "Cocoon publishing edition" release, will discuss this on the dev list.

• [BertrandDelacretaz] Improve cocoon.zones.apache.org setup: auto-restart Daisy and Cocoon demos, auto backups of the Daisy content.

• [JorgHeymans] Improve cocoon.zones.apache.org setup: auto-restart continuum, do some mod_rewrite foo to make continuum reachable without port 12000.

• [BertrandDelacretaz] Create a Cocoon serializer for the current FOP release (or help the FOP guys do it

• [JeremiasMaerki] FOP Bugzilla Cleanup (if Maven still doesn't want to build Cocoon on my machine )

• [ReinhardPoetz] Moderate a code walk-through again this year (hope Carsten and Daniel will be willing to be interviewed)

• [ReinhardPoetz] Spread knowledge about publishing Cocoon 2.2 docs with Maven

• [ReinhardPoetz] Design of Virtual Sitemap Components (or fixing the old implementation)

• [ReinhardPoetz] Configure continuum to create a dev version of our docs and publish them in a way that search engines can't index them

• [JeremyQuinn] Lets make a plan for finalising CForms

• [Jean-Baptiste Quenot] Try to replace Maven 2 with Ant and Ivy

• [DanielFagerstrom] Work on the Spring based blocks architeture

• [DanielFagerstrom] Make some of the samples work as "real" blocks

• [DanielFagerstrom] Splitting up the core (move out some optional parts of the core like e.g. flowscripts to own blocks) to reduce the amount of dependencies, see e.g. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=113682736011081&w=2
