Apache Cocoon 2 Web Site

The main place is here!!

Granted, the C2 documentation is still in Alpha, but there is alot there and it goes into alot more detail than here. Read it and digest it. I am certainly doing that as I go along and quite quickly understanding more of the architecture and concepts. I will seek to distill the main points into this site, but the main place is still the supplied documentation.

You will also find the documentation in your C2 installation under {COCCON_HOME}/docs/index.html.

Apache Cocoon Users Mail List

Subscribe to the Cocoon users mail list! This is a great resource for asking and answwering questions. For more details, and pointers to other related lists, see the documentation.

You can also access an excellent, searchable, archive of the users mail list at The Aims Group. Use this 'cos lots of things are there! Other list archive information is available in the documentation.
