to make people use wyona I'd suggest to put it on freshmeat. I was
wondering why wyona is not listed there. 
but maybe it's a good idea to complete the documentation before listing
it on freshmeat???

there's one project which is a homepage with about 15 pages, most of
them need to be editable by users. there's also a product catalog
containing prices, that is generated out of a csv file and that should
be accessible only by authenicated users.
This project should start in one or two weeks. I'm not sure if I should
start using wyona with this project, becaus I'm afraid I won't get into
wyona quick enough:o}

but there's an other project, that will start in a few weeks. It's a
simple homepage (~30 pages) and the plan is to make it just a static
page in the first step. I.e. nothing that has to be edited by a cms or
that comes out of a database. Therefor it may be a good idea to use this
project to get to know wyona and just use the cms for myself in this
case.
