Advice on use of Daisy / Cocoon

[Matthew Haas-5]

Hi,

I have a requirement to build a xml / xslt based web site and am
trying to understand if Daisy can help me.

I've used Cocoon in the past and would like to use it again as a front
end but Daisy is new to me.

The way I see the main components working together is as follows:

1) A Daisy xml repository which in this case will contain documents like this:
    Product Descriptions
    Testimonials
    News Items
    etc.

2) A Daisy wiki which I will use to manage these documents

3) A publicly accessable web site built on Cocoon and connected to the
xml repository via the http api.

At the moment I'm trying to grasp how the major components fit
together so I would appreciate any comments and some reassurance that
I'm on the right track.

What do you think?

Regards,

Mat Haas

The Daisy wiki already is a web site built on Cocoon (and using xslt
for styling).
Unless you have some very specific requirements there is no need to
build your own web site on Cocoon.
If you feel there are things you can't do in Daisy, but you can solve
them in Cocoon, you can always use extensions
to solve the problem in Cocoon.

See the demo at demo.daisycms.org and this list for some non-trivial
sites built with Daisy:
