I totally agree with this. If it's too difficult to make a complete tutorial distro, even making a webapp that could be just unpacked into cocoon/mount would be a big benefit. I agree that the greater understanding of *.xconf might only be available if they are stripped to begin with. But I wonder if the effort to maintain this separate distro would be greater than properly documenting them. Maybe the tutorial directory under mount could contain replacement *.xconf that could be moved into position for beginners to experiment with, without the overhead of the full enchiladas. More questions than answers, but I agree something is needed. IMHO it took too long to get my head around C2, and it must be real murder for some people that might not have the same benefits of skills that all of us who "made it" have. Poor/missing documentation is acceptable when the project is not mature and subject to significant changes that would outdate the documentation. Someone like Vadim that straddles both lists might have a better idea of whether this is the case, or it just hasn't been written yet. (And believe me, that's not a nit, because I can't step up to the plate to write any docs either...)
