Re: [Fwd: Creating new pages with Wyona]

As another newcomer to Wyona, I'd like to second the ideas expressed in this
chain and step forward to help. I started looking at Wyona in early
September and at this point I still can't tell whether it will serve my
content management needs. The step back to understand Cocoon was critical,
and the Langham/Ziegler book made that possible. Now I'm ready to take
another look at Wyona

I agree with the approach Felix has outlined. (See below if it is not clear
which I mean). Having a simple, working, example in the distribution does
three things. 
First, it lets someone quickly tell whether or not Wyona is even close to
what they want. 
Second, it allows them to make small incremental changes and see the
results. When you don't know your way around, the sheer number of files in
the existing examples becomes a barrier to understanding.
Finally, it is practical to completely describe a small example in a
tutorial document.
