It's always the same paradox : the people who need documentation the
most, are the ones that are less qualified to participate in its
writing, otherwise they wouldn't need documentation. For Cocoon
experts, it's a matter of realizing that you can code marvelous
features, if nobody can understand them through a coherent and
accessible documentation, it's totally useless. And when you see
entire blocks (like apples for example) that don't have any
documentation...
So I totally agree : please "skilled people" feel free to participate
in Cocoon documentation effort... but don't be suprised if we newbies
are a little... chomping at the bit !
