IMHO you are completly right with your opinion not to enter into a direct marketing battle with Orbeon. The thing that I learned is that we don't give the user the information what Cocoon can do for him in a form that he gets an overview within a few minutes. Ok, this is conventional marketing but IMO necessary. I tried to outline such a document: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=CocoonFeatures (I know after reading it you are not a Cocoon expert but a beginning ...) What do you think? > [oh, look, they support Java Server Faces.... (sound of > Stefano puking)] ;) Reinhard
