Hello group,

I think what we need is to start working on the example page.

What Markus said is true. A newbie USER wants to see a publication he 
can configure not develope.

On the on the other hand Felix wants to show DEVELOPER how wyona work 
from ground on.

We have to develop that example site anyway so why not keep a record how 
we did it.

We all agree that wyona needs a better documentation. So if we can build 
a "one size fits all" example site, the user could configure the 
"individual" components (that the developer will create) to it.

I propose the following top level directory structure:
docs <- all xml, xhtml
resources <- all other
stylesheets <- all xsl
logic <- all xsp

I have never writen a programm in Java. But like cocoon and XML very 
much (not yet an expert ;-).
How can we get organised?

Hi all,
Am 25.10.2002 12:06 Uhr +0200 uebermittelte Felix Maeder folgende Zeilen:
1) static HTML Hello World (only Cocoon)
2) XML, XSLT Hello World (only Cocoon)
3) Adding the Wyona Toolbar
4) Making the Hello World editable with Xopus and Bitflux
5) Making the Hello World publishable
6) Making the Hello World creatable (Hello Pluto, Hello Neptun, etc.)
7) Adding Access Controlling to the Hello World

I don't think this is the best way to go because it takes too long until 
you actually have a working publication. If you are newbie and are 
trying out a new product, you want to *see* something very quickly, 
otherwise you will lose interest pretty soon. I would propose a more 
result-oriented, less didactic approach:
1. In the distribution there should be a simple "Hello World" publication:
- Simple layout
- One simple document type (title, subtitles, paragraphs, images, maybe 
a list) which is editable through Xopus and Bitflux
- A basic navigation
- Possibility to upload images
- Possibility to create new pages
- Possibility to publish pages
- Basic access controlling with one user/one role/one policy
