Greate news!
This is definitaly a stuff that should be placed on the Cocoon site front
page.

The more this kind of news - the more popular is Cocoon.

We definitely need a volunteer with good writing/advertising skills to
create a promotional front page for Cocoon.

 Subject: HP-SOAP Server announcement
 
 
 Hi All,
 
 I would like to announce the general availability release of 
 HP Web Services Platform 2.0, a standards-based platform for 
 developing, deploying, registering, discovering, and invoking 
 Web services.  Key components include the following:
 * HP-SOAP 2.0 - SOAP server and XML document processing pipeline
 controlled by the Apache Cocoon2 framework
 * listener framework - transport listeners that support 
 http, https,
 smtp 
 * plug-and-play framework that allows for protocol-neutral or
 protocol-specific (eg. ebXML, BizTalk) processing of SOAP messages.
 * Integrated security - support XML Digital Signatures
 * XML Digital Signature security pack 
 * HP Service Composer - graphical tool for creating and 
 mapping WSDL
 interfaces and for automatic deployment to HP Application Server 8.0 
 * HP Registry Composer - graphical tool for registering and
 discovering Web services in UDDI registries via UDDI4J Java API 
 * Useful trail map tutorials, documentation, and use case 
 examples to
 expedite the Web services learning process 
 HP Web Services Platform 2.0 is J2EE application server 
 agnostic and has been tested with HP-AS 8.0, Tomcat, BEA 
 WebLogic 5.1 and 6.1. A 30 day no charge evaluation copy of 
 HP Web Services Platform 2.0 can be downloaded from 
 http://www.hpmiddleware.com/download.
 Hope this proves useful 
 and instructive to the entire Cocoon community. We are 
 looking forward to you guys building on what we've developed 
 so far. Kinga (and team)

Well, I'd be happy to do so, once I understand Cocoon a little 
better. It's difficult to write persuasive copy without an in-depth 
knowledge of the subject matter; otherwise you just end up writing 
meaningless marketing drivel.

The more I explore and tinker with Cocoon, the more impressed I 
become. But when I try to explain its capabilities to colleagues, I  
tend to get bogged down in jargon: Well, it uses pipelined SAX 
processing to, uh... well... it's pretty cool, anyway. :)

My interest in Cocoon arises from my involvement in a project with 
various central banks throughout the world: we're looking at 
mechanisms whereby we can exchange press releases, research abstracts 
and statistical data via XML. And Cocoon seems purpose-built for what 
we're trying to achieve, at least so far. Especially in its ability 
to pull data out of numerous non-XML sources. Very slick. The recent 
charting thread is also of great interest.

I do agree with comments in an earlier thread about the need for more 
detailed docs for Cocoon. My colleagues and I are of similar skill 
levels: we're managers with IT and communications backgrounds, all of 
whom do a little coding as required, but we're primarily project 
leaders. We're not hard-core developers. And I know we do find 
aspects of Cocoon (and server-side Java in general) a little baffling 
still. A lot of unfamiliar concepts and procedures to master. (Don't 
get me started on bloody classpaths!! :)

Anyway... put me down as a volunteer to help with beefing up the docs 
and marketing stuff.

Welcome ;)

For a start point you can look at Jakarta Struts front page and this
message:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cocoon-dev@xml.apache.org/msg14374.html

Cocoon docs (including the site pages) are written in XML using docbook-v10
format (see xml-cocoon2\src\documentation\xdocs\ directory), but if you feel
more comfortable with other formats then it's Ok, just post a patch to
Bugzilla with the document or send it to cocoon-dev list and somebody will
convert it to XML.
