I know this is a naive question, but could we contact them and offer to 
help with getting up to speed with Cocoon 2?

This reminds me of the SleepyCat xml database inquiry.  They get press 
in things I know people at least thumb through (eWeek).  They inquired 
about integrating with Cocoon and there was some response from us, but 
it kind of dropped.  For marketing purposes I would think pursuing those 
things would be good for business, no?
