I doubt that there is anything in the works on this. I remember running
into this problem when I was first learning Cocoon. I had to go to the
Avalon site to get basic lifecycle information (this is now at the
Excalibur site). But I had to figure out what the point of cocoon.roles
was on my own as I don't recall seeing any documents anywhere on that,
although I believe Avalon does or did mention them a little.
It would be nice if this could be done as part of trunk - the whole new
container architecture including OSGi could use some good coverage. I
could use it myself as I haven't really been following all the details
of the changes that are being made.

It seems that a huge hole in documentation exists on the site. As I
was training one of my crew on how to write a reader (adapting a
servlet we had) I found I couldn't refer to one nice page. Not even
the JavaDocs really help all that much. I didn't even know about the
ObjectModelHelper class until I used the class introspector to
discover it. I really wanted something that spelled out the entries
in the ObjectModel but could not find it.
It's not that hard to write the Cocoon components, but there should be
something that puts it down. I can't guarantee I can do it soon but
I'll see what I can do. Where should I put it in the grand scheme of
things?
