Steven, it occurs to me that Drupal may be well suited to the CocoonGT site. Drupal offers ecommerce modules (Worldpay, Paypal, invoicing etc.) and plenty of people have used Drupal for exactly this kind of purpose (see http://drupal.org/node/5931). I'd be more than willing to build such a site.
Thanks for the offer. It's not a matter of NIH nor forcing one's own dogfood onto somebody else, but I hooked up the cocoongt.org website onto the existing cocoondev.org machinerie, as this was the easiest thing to do for me. It took me all of 10 minutes.
I'm sure Drupal is cool and all that, and Dries (http://www.buytaert.net/resume/#drupal) works about a mile from our offices, and I have a standing lunch invitation from him. I like your ideas with SpreadCocoon - yet I'd love to see people build these things on top of Cocoon. I know people do, and I've been running a shared development environment for Cocoon-related projects for quite a while now, yet I see very few being packaged as standalone applications. A pity.
That, and a workable documentation platform, are things which I care very much for. Getting to know PHP from a sysadmin perspective is less enticing. ;)
