Stefano,
I will absolutely respect the "Cocoon" name.
(I guess "CocoonSoft" is out :) ) I believe
Cocoon is a tremendous framework that should be
available for .Net.
As I get farther into this "port" I will use
some of my own ideas in the implementation. And it
will slowly break from the Cocoon mold and live
through it's own community.
The only thing I ask, Is I would like to acknowledge
the ideas for the .Net project were conceived from
Cocoon?
I appreciate the great framework and will definitely
not ruin the value of "Cocoon".
Thanks,
Dave
