I think that many of the apps you describe are "out
there", but because they are built for commercial
(or, at least, internal/private) purposes, they are
not available to students to examine.

Right.

I agree this a pity - the potential of Cocoon is quite
vast (esp. with the new flow and forms) - but trying
to demonstrate that to "newbies" is a challenge!

It certainly is ...

PS Perhaps some of the things you mention could be course projects ?! (that way you could build-up
your own set of "convincing applications. ")

.. exactly my idea. But there's a bootstrapping problem here that I need to tackle first. I need an environment to tie everything together. Apps that grow each year as students bring-in new functions or content.


In part, Cocoon resembles large commercial products I've seen - the ones with trademark signs all over the place :) The trademarks, registered names "hide" the functionality. Same with all the open-source project libraries in Cocoon. You need a map to see where everything fits in.
