Hi Jorg,
The mailing list is simply the first feature I implemented. PlanetCocoon is a Drupal site (http://drupal.org). I'm a Drupal contributor and wanted to get my feet wet with a simple patch to their mailhandler module (the colourisation).
The real "itch" is this. In due course I want to provide myself, my colleagues - and any other interested contributors - with a site that offers a wide range of means to communicate. People are different and I like the idea of offering blogs, forums, pages, code snippets, recipes, polls and collaborative books under one roof. I want to aggregate other Cocoon developer's blogs. I want taxonomy and folksonomy. I want integration with del.icio.us (and flickr!?). All of these things are already offered by Drupal (http://drupal.org).
BTW I mentioned in the earlier post (see http://www.planetcocoon.com/node/1109 :p) that I want to introduce folksonomy to mailing list archives. My intention is to make mailing list material taggable. I think this will increase the value of archived mailing list content.

All i'm saying is that i'ld hate to see yet another source of outdated cocoon information appear on the web. It will take a lot of hard work to make sure the content doesn't become stale over time, constantly replicating stuff from the javadocs or the wiki. Are you volunteering to do this or are you hoping that registered users will start contributing?
Furthermore, i think you'll have a hard time getting people to support the launching of a next gen cocoon documentation portal on a PHP backend. Name me one webapplication framework that uses other technology to show off it's own features? :)
Maybe you should take this over to dev@ and see how the "senior" chaps feel about this.
Thanks, Jorg
PS i like the spreadcocoon concept !
