Sorry, I can't agree. Cocoon still has the same fault as many open-source products: A lack of documentation. I don't know if GSoC is for docs, too, but it is really, really necessary to improve docs. It's still the same Catch-22: To write docs you need to understand the developed, to understand the developed you need the docs, ... Writing docs does belong to development, even when it seems to be at a kindergarden level for newbies!

I think we all agree that we need docs (or more/better docs), absolutely no doubt. And I think we also agree that writing docs is one task of the development process, and it's an important task.

But we can't force anyone to write docs; and delaying a release because of lacking documentation is not producing the desired effect: instead of getting docs this way, nothing is usually happening: no docs and no release.
I don't say that I'm happy about this.
