I've been thinking a lot about this: how should we market Cocoon? Right
now it's simply too hard since Cocoon has grown to be too many things in
one place. This is why I proposed the creation of blocks.
After blocks are implemented (yes, expect big RT on this very soon)
Cocoon will change from a big WAR to a smaller WAR that implements a COB
(COcoon Block) container and provides some standard blocks.
Giacomo calls this block container a 'naked cocoon' and I love the
concept: it's the cocoon core, with no direct functionality. Blocks will
provide functionality. Some blocks are written by you, some blocks are
installed from other places.
A 'naked cocoon' is an server-side XML application framework.
That is: cocoon is glue for your web needs.
