So here's my vision of a site devoted to the marketing of Apache Cocoon: http://www.spreadcocoon.com:
* high search engine visibility;
* a repository of Apache Cocoon success stories;
These two particularly are things that could/should be applied to http://cocoon.apache.org/
* a catalogue of live Apache Cocoon web applications;
... cocoondev.org provides a repository and demos for some of these apps, but I agree seeing more running "in the wild" would be interesting.
* an environment to discuss issues of visual identity;
... like the mailing list? ;-)
* a repository of press clippings;
Nice idea.
* site-wide search;
Google search of cocoon.apache.org is already there iirc
* a collaborative space to help formulate press releases;
... like the wiki? ;-)
* a noticeboard to raise awareness of community events;
... like the wiki? ;-)
* accessible, standards based design - maximum inclusion;
This is coming with the 2.2 docs I think
* a way to publicise key personalities and participating organisations.
... publicising key personalities is something that's quite avoided by the Cocoon community, as it has a detrimental effect on the community.
I don't dislike your ideas, but I do think many of them are already being achieved by what we have in place, are planned to be fixed in the near future, or are not already there for community / technical / whatever reasons.
Cheers,
Andrew.
