No, the brand is not strong.
Look around among people that have *not* used Cocoon and ask them what
it is. Most of them will tell you "it's a publishing engine", or even
"it's a tool to perform XSL transformations".
What we have now and what we're building is much more than that, and IMO
we won't be able to deliver this message with a name that has been
associated for 6 years to "just" a publication engine, even if that
"just" is already a lot.
Struts has Shale which is a complete rewrite that learns from the past
and looks into the future. I really think we should to the same. We're
talking a new start, aiming at building a simple, clean and consistent
platform. That deserves more than in a major revision number of a name
that denotes something else in most people's mind.
