Great idea. This is then orthogonal to the total restructuring
of the xdocs, which was shelved until 2.2 because it would otherwise
break our URL space.

I would certainly like to see this ToC cater for the anticipated
"Reference documentation" (cannot find old dev@ or old docs@
discussion yet).

Well i think that we should start that now, then keep
this page clean.

One thing that we had discussed about Cocoon core xdocs
documentation was that it should not appear to sanctify any
external documentation, because there is some stuff out there
that we may not be happy with and where do we draw the line.
Also we do not want to get into URL management and dead links.
So yes, a separate Wiki page sounds better.

That helps a lot thanks.

There is one aspect that i am still not clear about. Do you
envisage that this ToC itself would become an xdoc? I hope so.
If so, then that is why i would like it to be free from
references to external cocoon-related stuff.
