I think that depends on the "what", but it's definitely ready for 
production, plz see below


  Are there any operational (not just demo) public

yes, there are for instance:

-NZZ (the most prestigious newspaper of Switzerland): http://www.nzz.ch
-OSCOM (Open Source Content Management Organization):
http://www.oscom.org/matrix/
-Computerworld (I guess the name is self-explaining): 
http://www.computerworld.ch
-University of Zurich (Online Magazine): http://www.unipublic.unizh.ch

No, it's not used along with Cocoon. We want to show people that there 
is more in the world than just Cocoon and Wyona ;-)

Have you installed MSXML4.0? If not, then you need to, else Xopus won't 
work. You can get it from:

Do you mean the Wyona News and Comments publication?


http://demo.wyona.org/wyona-cms/forum/authoring/index.html


Use wyona/levi (well, it actually says so on the login screen)


Is anyone maintaining the wyona.org site?

Please be aware that we are currently switching our DNS, Webserver and 
Firewall, but you can't really know that of course ;-)
