Cocoon would definately be a good choice technically. However what you'll have to fight is the mindset of people desiring to use MS Word as their authoring tool. You could try to use a tool such as DocSoft's (http://www.docsoft.com) Word-to-XML converter. However it creates generic "presentation" XML and therefore you'll lose the control over the look and feel of the site.I've heard of a commercial plugin for MS Word which lets you create content based on a DTD. It is called 'Tagless Editor'[1], but I didn't find the time to test-drive it yet, so I cannot tell whether this is really useable or not. I also do not know anything about their pricing, but this *might* be a solution for organisations with end-users not capable or willing to use anything else than their favorite GUI-editor.
However, I don't think this solves Ines' problem, and I doubt Cocoon is the solution either, at least not Cocoon alone. I would suggest to check out the Sunspot portal, which /could/ be useful for this purpose, but to look at other CMS (content management systems) as well. I'd say Cocoon is a very flexible *platform* for XML-based applications, which enables one to *build* a CMS, for example, but Cocoon itself is definitely not an out-of-the-box CMS solution.
