Robert,
I agree on the sorry state of the doc in Cocoon; sorry state which I take, partially,
as a fault of mine, since I wrote only 3-4 FAQ
entries and a couple pages... and I could have done more.
I don't agree on the bug resolution part: I uncovered a couple problems with the
SQLTranformer: it was easy to fix them and have
them (well, actually one) accepted by the committers.
Compare that with a closed-source product: it would have taken me days struggling with
the tech support to just have the problem
recognised as such; and then, I would have ended up waiting for the next release.
