....Again I repeat my suggestion... what about driving users to Forrest for the impatient? It also contains preconfigured stuff for site building, it seems perfect for the impatient, no?
I also missed it the first time too, sorry.
I'd be +1 on your suggestion:
New source-based dist for Cocoon, and send people to Forrest for a binary distribution for basic web publishing ("basic" meaning that the Forrest dist probably won't include all available Cocoon components).
