We're tyring to do something very similar, publishing content for multiple formats, total isolation of presentation and business logic, easy to deploy, standards based, etc... I've spent the past couple weeks taking a very close look at the Cocoon and Avalon projects and I'm convinced that it's not a panacea, but that using it as a loose foundation would take many months off the development time of our platform. I'm having a little trouble convincing the others I work with that it would be a good idea to at least study the two projects, Cocoon and Avalon, in hopes of foreseeing a lot of the gotchas that I'm sure we'd encounter. I've read what Ovidiu's posted over the last few days and I'm interested in other peoples accounts on how Cocoon performs in the real world. I need to get the people I work with over the Beta nature of Cocoon. I know it's not guaranteed, and I know it's constantly evolving, and at what seems to be quite a nice clip thanks to everyone working on the project (I'm still trying to find where I can work myself into the project to help out). But I still think that the work you've all put in and the tremendous amount to be learned from it can be put to good use. If anyone's got any feedback on how Cocoon holds up in the real world and perhaps examples of big names using it that would really help me make my case. Thanks in advance to everyone.
