Without good documentation it is very difficult to learn this way of thinking and hence my reasoning that we need better docs.

Although the basic concepts of cocoon seem appealing, the learning curve was/is very hard for me:

- Books were written before flow and many of the described patterns of usage may not be advisable anymore.
- Online documentation scarce (only cocoon site+wiki, no third-party)
- Even for elementary stuff I have to bother the list (btw thanks everybody!).

Furtunatly Cocoon 2.2 isn't far anymore (the release of the first release candidate should happen next week) and some of us are working on a relaunch of the Cocoon website which will come together with a major overhaul of our documentation.

IMHO some efforts towards new tooling would be helpful. There is an old eclipse plugin for sitemap editing somewhere out there.

Then we will see if our diagnosis concerning the technical problems and my assessment of the importance of documentation was correct.

I strongly support your "assesment" :)
