This is an interesting question.

Essentially I see Wyona as a web application which runs two "versions" of 
Cocoon.
(Ok it doesn't really but....) One is the "draft" site seen by authors, 
editors, and so on - people involved with producing the site, and the other 
is the "live" site - ie that served to the general public, or other users 
of the website.

Wyona attempts to help with entering data into the "draft" site, and 
approving that same data for transfer over to the "live" site.

Wyona tries to provide a user system for doing this including editors, 
authors, and so on, and attempts to provide a workflow system (eg authors 
create, editors approve for publication, document appears on live site) and 
attempts to provide version control (what did this page look like on the 
first of the month)

BUT I don't know how much of this is working. There is a lot of stuff which 
is so poorly documented that I don't know if it exists, works, or simply 
may exist one day.

I think there is....

See http://www.owal.co.uk:8080/wyona-cms/welcome
for an example. This is from a standard wyona install - ie it contains the 
Cocoon docs too.

(oh ok - my system is having a problem with that :-)
