I tried using the Javadocs recently to figure out how a certain
component works. I find that Javadocs are a dissapointment
in general. There is one significant thing that is lacking ....

The front page of Javadocs is the package index. There are
84 packages in Cocoon and only 6 of them have the brief
package description.

This description is very simply achieved ... add a "package.html"
document to each directory under src/java/org/apache/cocoon 

These are other tasks to be added to the "To Do" list for the
general documentation project ...
----------
* Add basic package.html for every package
- as a template use components/search/package.html
- minimum content is a h1 heading
- this task is urgent (Cocoon image would be suffering)
- need to decide optimal length of headings

* Enhance each package.html
- add a very concise description, using <p> etc. This is used
for the Description section of each package's front page.

* Link to other relevant Cocoon documentation
- this is tricky
- how to achieve both website and local doco
- the "management of links" would be nice to automate

* Review Javadoc comments inside each *.java
- big
- ensure consistency and ensure at least minimal content
