Well, yes, I will contribute as much as I can ;-)
Right now, however, it means that I will be contributing mainly to
Jetspeed.
Should, however, at some point of time take some time off and play with
prowler (probably won't happen before july)... to get a better feeling
what can it be used for. Or maybe someone comes up with some good docs
before that ;-)

well... to some extent it makes sense... however, I have too little
understanding of Prowler to make any intelligent comments. Only thing, I
don't see any point in separating jetspeed into "other front-ends",
Currently I think it is more on the same level with Cocoon... And when
Cocoon2 becomes reality, Jetspeed will probably be integrated with
Cocoon...
