(About pointy tags: send over your p-Book and I'll install XXE for you. XXE reminds me of why I am so reluctant to believe browser-based widgets will never be able to edit anything else but semantically poor (X)HTML-like fragments)
My own belly tells me that people will write more and better user documentation if they get some proper playground. Having to worry about code sitting right beside their documents will not bring peace in their minds.
Ok, please, explain to me why the cocoon CVS module is not a proper playground for people writing docs because I don't understand.
1) up to lately, the docs target has been failing on quite some occasions.
2) up to lately, the 'requirement' (?) to sync branches brought even more relunctancy.
3) there's too much documentation already (!): people prefer a clean-sheet approach (look at the Wiki, and don't think all of it is 'draft' or 'playground') - particularly on the entry level documentation/trails
4) up to lately, the entire Cocoon CVS module was needed to work on documentation. Now, people could possibly check-out only src/documentation and work on that using a binary install of Forrest.
5) (minor) some of the docs can hardly be concerned authorative (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/tutorial/index.html) and should not be in Cocoon CVS
All in all, most of my playground them has to do with it 'being vacant', rather than technics or tools.
