Kito,

Thanks for the "intel" from some our users.

I agree with many of your points.  I believe there is some
documentation for JSCookMenu on the website 
(http://myfaces.apache.org/components/jscookmenu.html).  I basically
copied over all that was available from the old website (its still
missing the syntax information.)  It wouldn't hurt to expand upon the
documentation either.  You are right that it is one of the major
components so more documentation would be better.

I agree also that there should be a new jscookmenu example in the
simple examples.  This was the one example I wasn't able to port over
because the only example we had was definitely *not* simple.  I asked
for someone to write one up, but so far, no takers.

We are working on keeping the users informed about the nature of the
components.  I added some documentation on this to the website earlier
this week.  We are waiting for Matthias to update the website.  Be
sure to check the website next week and let me know what you think. 
Feel free to add more information as well.  We are also thinking about
making the components a distinct subproject with its own code name. 
That may help.

Did the users like the new simple examples?  Did they find the source
code servlet useful?
