Personally, I think that Cocoon has a lot of good documentation, but 
poorly/inconsistently organised. I know I have many bookmarks of Cocoon-related 
resources, many of which deal with the same actual topic. Often I know I've seen some 
useful documentation somewhere but it takes a while to find it again. That's why I 
think that Bertrand's idea of harvesting metadata from the docs and using Lucene to 
cluster them semantically and automatically is an excellent one. With a live Cocoon 
instance it would not be too hard (just in XSLT) to harvest a lot of useful lucene 
fields from the xdocs, wiki docs, mail archives, etc. Java class names, namespace 
URIs, sitemap tags, etc, are all there already, and could all be used to pull the docs 
together into a more topical framework.

Cheers
