Very good point. +1

Documentation is a must, I agree, but software stability is what many
are looking for to even start looking at it. We will make docs better,
but let's follow the release early and often practice a little bit more
ok? (it's *TWO* years we are working on Cocoon2, damn it!)

+1 as long as it doesn't change current behavior.

+1 for both solutions. 

1) the "ready to be deployed - almost-demo-app" (which, IMO, should also
contain the cocoon docs in the webapp since they are served by Cocoon
anyway) packaged as a big WAR file.

2) the normal distribution.

What do you think?
