The documentation of cocoon-3 can be checked out as: svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cocoon/cocoon3/trunk/cocoon-docs

What would Reinhard think of starting with as a table of contents? I will be glad to write some documentation as well. I have some goose feathers available after Christmas, when I will be through the experience of creating a first app. How about you?
