Florian I think the blunt answer is that you are not going to get this; at least not in the form you seem to want. Cocoon has an on-going history of issues with the docs. If I had Euro1M to invest, it would be in hiring some developers/ experts for a few months to do a complete and total rewrite of everything. By next Wednesday? Sorry, but the learning curve on Cocoon is steeper than that. And yes, that does hinder its spread. But as others have pointed out "its pain now and gain later". No one else can make that choice for you.
The way you need to go is to pick a sample app that is closest to what you want and start to build it up/out. Ask specific questions, with code if possible, when you get stuck and I can say from past experience that this community will give you good support if at all possible. Good luck with your department!

I do understand this loyalty. I realized the power of Cocoon, but I want to introduce it in my department to prevent some spaghetti-coded framework. Deadline is next wednesday. The docs are scattered, partially duplicate or out-of-date, no real overview (which variables are provided? how and where can I use them? how can I introduce my own?) is provided. This decelerates spreading of Cocoon. And it's hard to convince colleagues from Cocoons simplicity if simple things don't work (this will start a new thread).
