OK I'm sorry Ross. I'm really sorry. You're right I completely missed your point and I apologize for that.
No harm done, quite the opposite in fact, your post made me consider what aspects of PlanetCocoon I agree with and what aspects I do not agree with. It also made me question whether my boundaries are in the right places.
Having considered your points about "self-reliance" I would like to make it clear that I feel it is a mistake to build a Cocoon documentation solution that is based on anything other than Cocoon. This has nothing to do with "self-reliance" in the way you describe it, it is a rel;iance on the Cocoon community, because, at the end of the day, that is all Cocoon has. It is to do with drawing on the strengths of that community. Everyone here knows Cocoon, most do not know Drupal or PHP.
However, PlanetCocoon clearly has some effort going into it, and some of your ideas are excellent. It would be a real shame if your enthusiasm was dampened by what you perceive as "self-reliance".
It is my hope that once you have shown how valuable some of your ideas are then attention within the Cocoon community will turn towards embracing the some of the solutions you are designing and implementing them within a Cocoon based application. In other words I see your current Drupal implementation as a precursor to a killer Cocoon based application.
In the meantime I will try to help build the necessary plugins to Forrest to enable your work to be brought into the official Cocoon docs with minimal effort (and vice-versa if the Cocoon community wish that to be so).
