Here's the deal: Cocoon is a very powerful publishing framework
adapted to do web applications, and Ruby on Rails is a very
empowering web application framework that can be adapted for a
number of purposes. There are two very different mindsets behind
the two frameworks--and I believe we can leverage the very potent
lessons learned from Rails for the Cocoon framework.
I couldn't agree more. In fact, I spoke about this at the GT this
morning :-)
The full slides with notes, videos etc will be available via the GT
web site shortly, but until then you can see the basics at http://
www.luminas.co.uk/andrew/raccoon.pdf
Your SHRT goes into rather more technical detail than I managed.
Hopefully it can produce some more conversation topics at the GT.
I saw the PDF, but without the comments or extra talking points its hard
to get much out of it. I.e. the questions are asked, some great quotes
(and a really nice looking presentation), but no content to walk away
with. Hopefully that can be added in later.
As to the technical detail, I've used Rails and I've used Cocoon--I know
where things can happen. Its possible and it can/should be done.
