I had a conversation with a coworker today about learning to use WebWork. He is extremely excited about how quickly and easily he can develop apps using SiteMesh+WebWork. He got up to speed using both in a very short period of time. The problem is the same one that Tim Dwelle pointed out. It's hard to find information in the current documentation. The example my coworker gave was ActionContext. It's powerful, but most people probably don't know how to use it 'cause it's not mentioned in the docs (that I could find).
This also a great example of how to be part of an Open Source community. Mike had an idea and did something about it. He didn't talk it to death. He didn't suggest someone else do it for him. He just got it done.

In light of my recent 'tips' emails, I thought I'd collate them somewhere
more useful online than the crappy SF mail archives:
So the WebWork Cookbook was born:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0107789/stories/2002/11/02/ webworkCookBook.html
Basically I'll just try to dump up lots of short snippets of useful
information and code as I think of them. It's not a replacement to the docs
(indeed this information should be merged into the docs at some stage!) but
hopefully it will provide a dumping ground for useful tips and techniques.
(And it's much easier to edit a story on my blog than edit the WW docs - but
that's another story :))
_Please_ feel free to contribute your own brief tips! Even a few line tip of
something that you 'figured out' or thought was nifty is useful to other
people!
Thoughts appreciated.
