It looks like you found out how to edit the navigation tree as well. 
Feel free to expand the section you created - if a better place is 
found in the overall structure, we'll reshuffle the tree but your (much 
appreciated) work won't be lost.


Thanks!

If you want, you can register yourself on cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy.

This is not a free source, but there are some good books available

Cocoon: building xml applications (Mathew langham+Carsten ziegler - New
Rider) 

Cocoon developer's handbook (Lajos Moczar+Jeremy Aston - developer's
library)

I doubt that there is anything in the works on this. I remember running 
into this problem when I was first learning Cocoon.  I had to go to the 
Avalon site to get basic lifecycle information (this is now at the 
Excalibur site).  But I had to figure out what the point of cocoon.roles 
was on my own as I don't recall seeing any documents anywhere on that, 
although I believe Avalon does or did mention them a little.


It would be nice if this could be done as part of trunk - the whole new 
container architecture including OSGi could use some good coverage.  I 
could use it myself as I haven't really been following all the details 
of the changes that are being made.

Since docs are under a big refactoring, perhaps the wiki can be a good 
place right now. People working in the documentation effort can tell you 
more. ;-)
