Steven, I beg your pardon, but I disagree with this statement.

Yes, in an ideal world we'd happily code all together, but this being the real world, sometimes happens that you develop a piece of
software for a specific customer and only after the customer's needs are met (in terms of time and features) you can think about
donating it.

This is especially true for a package like Cocoon, which is, first and foremost, the plumbing holding software components together
(the water being XML, of course).

So, IMHO, the community should welcome donations, as long as they come with no string attached and fit into the general vision.

Regards,

P.S.
A big kiss to you as well, provided you shaved this morning ;) ...hmmm, let downsize it to a bear hug ;)
