Dear Cocoon folks,
I've done some work on a sitemap browser... it's a Cocoon application (basically a couple of XSLT stylesheets and a sitemap) that lets you explore Cocoon sitemaps.

Abstract: A simple Cocoon sitemap can be clean and elegant. But as pipelines aggregate calls to other pipelines, and the number of pipelines increases, a sitemap can become difficult to follow. Sitemap Browser (SB) addresses this problem by visualizing a sitemap as an HTML document, displaying each pipeline next to the pipeline(s) it calls, and by hyperlinking related pipelines to each other for easy navigation. SB works to some degree on unmodified sitemaps but works better if you add sb:* markup to help handle the harder cases. SB can also be a convenient aid in unit testing, as a framework for linking to a sample invocation of each pipeline.

The sitemap browser can be downloaded from the wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/SitemapBrowser). Please let me know if this seems useful, or sparks any ideas.

Lars
