Absolutely! BUT, the point isn't that everyone's dissing Cocoon, it's that
a weakness has been identified, and is being discussed. No need to be
defensive about it - that's what will drive people to amend the situation.

Subject:  Re: Giving up! Cocoon too big, slow and confusing


Everyone stop, take a breathe, get a cup of coffee
and go read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar"
http://tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/
or similar writings about how Open Source Software operates.
It seems that many people here are missing the point.

It amazes me that people have the time to compose email
to the mailing list to tell us that they are too busy, and
then have the hide to tell us that documentation is poor.

If each of us add one FAQ to the document collection,
then the lack will be addressed very quickly. That is OSS.
If you see an issue, the onus is on you to help remedy that.
Everyone benefits from the work of each one.

There is no such separate thing as "they, the developers".
Rather it is "we the community". Anyone who contributes
a patch (code or doc) is instantly transformed from being
a "user" into a "developer".

Users use, contributers build projects.

Thanks for raising this topic. I do sympathise with you
about the complexities and inadequacies. We have all been
though that and still do. None of us know all of Cocoon
capabilities and would all benefit from doc contributions.
Please help.
