Open Source XML

Posted: April 3rd, 2003 | No Comments »

This morning, I participated to an interesting presentation of a customized Cocoon solution developed for HEI. Oliver Lange presented his own XPage (A DTD not open source yet) and shared his interest for the XML open source community. He mentioned projects and tools I should definitively follow these upcoming months:

  • Apache Forrest, a documentation framework based on Cocoon
  • Wyona, a CMS based on Cocoon. Developed by a swiss
  • Xopus and Bitflux Editor (developed by a swiss), both open source browser based Wysiwyg XML Editor
  • docbook, lets authors in technical groups exchange and reuse technical information

    • As I do not really come from this world, I am still questioning the best way to develop and test web publishing solutions. Every time I see this customized web application based many standards and open source modules, I have this feeling it is especially hard not to get stuck with an unmaintainable application.

    Thanks to Marielle for the invitation :-)
