Mailing Lists

| Important Notice |
IMPORTANT: Before posting a question or problem to any mailing list, please first look at the following resources in this order: FAQs - statistically speaking, the answer to your question has a good chance of being in here. ODP XML links - a wealth of general XML information. Mailing list archives - a veritable goldmine of Cocoon-specific information - if you know where to look! Recently, over 50% of questions asked on cocoon users have already been asked and answered several times before - often the same day or a few days ago!
| Cocoon Users |
Subscribe Unsubscribe The general Cocoon list, for problems, bug reports, asking for advice on how best to implement a site, comparisons with other XML frameworks, etc. But don't forget to look in the FAQ first, please! This is not an appropriate list for general XSL questions. Instead look at the ODP for XML/XSL links (such as the excellent XSL tutorial at Zvon.org) or try the Mulberrytech XSL list. This is also not an appropriate list for general Java questions. Instead try news:comp.lang.java.help or http://hotdispatch.com/, for example. IMPORTANT: If you are posting about a problem you are having (as most people do), it will aid in finding a speedy resolution if you provide full configuration details (especially the Cocoon version number, but also your operating system, JDK version, and servlet engine), and full details of any errors encountered (including full error messages and stack traces). Please also have some consideration for the other users on the list - this is a busy list and we do not appreciate getting the exact same message posted impatiently several times a day/week! Doing so is only likely to make your question answered more slowly, or not at all, not faster. If you would like to make commercial solicitations, please ask permission from one of the list moderators (currently Robin Green and Giacomo Pati) prior to doing so.
| This list is moderated, so the first time you post, there will be a delay before your post is reviewed and accepted. This is to prevent spam.
| Cocoon Dev |
Subscribe Unsubscribe This list is for developers working on or wanting to work on Cocoon itself (not developers merely working with Cocoon), for code patches to Cocoon to be posted (please use `diff -u` format), and for general Cocoon 2 questions. Note this is NOT for general Cocoon 1 questions like "Why isn't Cocoon working on my machine?" - please ask those sorts of questions on cocoon-users (after reading the FAQ first, of course).
| This list is moderated, so the first time you post, there will be a delay before your post is reviewed and accepted. This is to prevent spam.
| Cocoon Cvs |
Subscribe Unsubscribe This read-only list sends out notification messages detailing any change made to the CVS repository where all the source code and libraries are stored for development purposes. The average user probably doesn't need to subscribe to this list.
| You should never post to this list at all. Only the CVS server should post to it.
| XSP Dev |
Subscribe Unsubscribe This list began life on November 2000, and was created to discuss the standardisation and implementation of the dynamic content language XSP, which is used not only in Cocoon but in other software such as AxKit. You are recommended to have a strong working knowledge of XSP before joining this list. Note this is NOT for general XSP questions like "Why doesn't my XSP page work?" - please ask those sorts of questions on the relevant list for your XSP software (e.g. cocoon-users if you're using Cocoon) - after checking the FAQ first of course!
| Related Mailing Lists |
(See also ODP XML links for related websites.) Mulberrytech XSL list - more appropriate than Cocoon Users for general XSL questions. XML Apache Projects - list of mailing lists for all the projects on xml.apache.org. Some servlet engines have their own mailing lists for servlet-engine configuration questions, such as tomcat-user (note it is "user" and not "users").
