Is this a case for Cocoon?
Hello! I am wondering whether Cocoon is the solution to my problem: I am working for a university who wants me to redesign their homepage. It has to be accessible to everyone (i.e. needs to conform to the Web Accessibility Guidelines) and be dead easy in maintanance. The problems I have encountered so far are: There will be many different people who will edit, update, maintain or expand the pages. These people in most cases have never seen an html code. In fact what they love to do is saving a word doc into html and loading it onto the server. But all pages are supposed to be in valid XHTML, controled by CSS. Is this a case for Cocoon? Could secretaries load up their word docs (and whatever else they get into their hands) and the rest Cocoon does for them? I.e. generate XML from Word and tranform it into valid, accessible XHTML code? I would be grateful for your opinions! Do you know of any university who is using Cocoon?

Re: Is this a case for Cocoon?
hi ines if your people never have seen an html then they will produce very simple html output paragraphs, with or without titles, images , bulets and tables (nothing more is needed im most cases) so u can design a simple collection of elements and a xsd schema that describe those element and there attributes then you can give an xml editor and this schema to those people this is an easy way to make people create xml files in the way u want then u have to create a machine that will run unter cocoon who will be the presentation layer for this xml files there is a project we work on and soon will be free for download that make exactly what u want. (this not final for the moment but if you are familiar with xml.xsl.javascript i thing that u can use it) and all this under cocoon contact me direct if you want more informations Stavros S.

I think Cocoon can be the solution to your problem, but with some Content Management functionality added. Could secretaries load up their word docs (and whatever else they get into their hands) and the rest Cocoon does for them?

The University of Zurich is using Wyona, which is a CMS based on Cocoon.
