The only concern I would have in bringing CoWarp into Cocoon (beside the 
name making me think it is an add-on for OS/2 :-) ) is that I'd want to 
evaluate it against using acegi as the "standard" authentication 
mechanism.  Having said that, I have no familiarity with CoWarp and have 
only read some high level stuff about acegi, but from that reading it 
looks like a very robust framework.  There was some discussion about it 
on the users list a few months ago
