Hy Robert,
I appreciate your honesty.
I hope, you keep with us. I think you can really help
getting this into the next generation...
just a few of my experiences if you don't mind ...
0.) i use to install minimalistic components when
i start investigating. in this sense i only
needed tomcat-4.*.* to start. just installed it
and ready to go...
1.) When i started working with cocoon i first got
very very frustrated:
sitemap not working as i expected
actions, uhh?
logicsheets, sounds good, howto???
and so on ...
I even did not know, what to ask in detail.
3.) very slowly i got a first overview. i only scratched
the surface and one day (after about two weeks) i got
hit by realizing the hidden mightiness of the beast.
"Hey that's great, this works fine,
ahh what easy going here and there..."
Until now i still only was playing with the very
basics (sitemap, generator, protocol handlers)
4.) After reviewing my first experiences with cocoon i came
to the conclusions:
- its very complex
- it has great oportunities
- it is "complex documented"
- it moves fast
- it neads quality assurance to get mature
My decisions:
- use cocoon in my own projects
- help cocoon users to get a clear understanding
with less frustrations
I'm still happy with cocoon and im still only using the very
basics. I am curious where i can get with XSP and ESQL ;-)
regards, hussayn

Fine ... I'm beginning to loose interest to be honest. Right now I cant do
anything with XSP with cocoon at all. because of the classpath bug it looks
like two weeks of my work are about to explode in my face. Sigh.

Subject: Re: Cocoon Competence Center Updates
Hy, Robert;
Thank you very much for the contributions.
I propose to move parts of your contrib into another page.
reasons:
1.) this page deals with deploying cocoon. it should not cover
essentials of cocoon internals. this is the next story to be
covered, once cocoon is deployed.
2.) i want this document to be for "beginning beginners", (we used
to name them nebies ;-). Yes we should prepare a doc, that
contains your hints and tips, but maybe this is an add on
page ?
if nobody complains, i will move your contribs to another page, but
keep the super esssentials in the doc (and point to the new pages where
relevant)
is that ok for you Robert?
regards, Hussayn

The new sections are.
