Lastly, the Cocoon developers mailing list has been flooded with long threads about Woody. Marc, Bruno and I are sharing our neurons to give birth (hence "conception" in this entry's title) to what I expect to be the unified form handling package in Cocoon. Although the discussion is mainly ...
Matthew makes on his O'Reilly blog an interesting comparison between opensource software and low-cost airlines. There are many similarities and this shows that, even if software is immaterial, the business surrounding it is not that different from traditional business. The concept of "DIY" software is good for us, companies ...
