Being a newbie, I would say the biggest single positive change you could make would be to put a link to an easily searchable mail list archive on the cocoon install page and again as the main link in the mailing lists page. The one that is featured now is a text archive. Vadim Gritsenko pointed me to this much better one.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-users If cocoon were actually stable, a FAQ would be good, but might well be a waste of time at this point. I would continue the efforts to get a bulletproof installation and use all of the irritating newbie questions on the list to help me figure out where people go wrong the most frequently. Fix the instructions to remove those problems. Now that tomcat seems to have stabilised in the libraries it includes (minimal), you won't have the rug pulled out from under you so frequently when they change. The books people keep mentioning are also probably a good idea. Books and much more developed working examples are keeping the struts project moving forward at a nice pace. I sense that cocoon is now about where struts was 6 months to a year ago. All in all, I would say that cocoon has advanced sufficiently since the 1.0 days that I am considering using it as a web platform for the second half of a database course.
