<announcement site="http://cocoon.apache.org">
<project>Apache Cocoon @version@</project>
<abstract>
The Apache Cocoon Community is proud to announce the new release
of Apache Cocoon.
</abstract>
<body>
<p>
Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concept
of separation of concerns (that is: allowing people to do their job
without having to step on each other toes) and component-oriented web
RAD.
</p>
<p>
Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component
pipelines' modelled after the 'process chain' concept where each
worker specializes on a particular operation. This makes it possible
to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in building web solutions where
these components can be hooked together into pipelines without
requiring further programming.
</p>
<p>
We like to think at Cocoon as "web glue" for your web application
development needs. But most important, a glue that can keep
concerns separate and allow parallel evolution of the two sides,
improving development pace and reducing the chance of conflicts.
