So then how would you have handled the cocoon-docs question differently? I didn't call for a vote. Yet a vote was called, and now we don't have a 100% agreement, so we do "nothing" new, which means a minority of people are deciding what's going to happen. Is that community? Is that a do-acracy?
People may equate docs == inertia, but it's really not fair. Remember, we've been stuck in the mud with a static site limitations until only very recently. We've deliberately held back on new approaches until Forrest transition occurred. Sometimes discussions may have predominated but that was simply because our options were limited.
Going forward, what's the best approach for the seeming majority of us who want a sandbox for docs? Prototype a poor man's wiki-cms system on cocooondev (with Steven's good wishes, of course). Show how it works, figure out what it needs, and then reapproach this list for "approval".
