Hi
This was original posted only on the Cocoon Users Group last year but
Paloose is now reasonably
mature enough for exposure on this forum.
Paloose is a simplified (much simplified) version of Cocoon using PHP5.
Cocoon is a means of building
Web Sites using a pipelined XML/XSLT/CSS approach based on sitemaps. I
have used Cocoon for
many years but became frustrated that small ISPs did not support the
Java/Tomcat necessary for Cocoon
other than as a very expensive "professional" addition. Almost ISPs
will support PHP5 and so I decided
to write my version of a simple, cut-down Cocoon in PHP5. Paloose may
also encourage others to start
using XML and XSL without having to use extra bits such as Tomcat,
Jetty or a full Cocoon installation.
