both ideas sound ok. The second one may be more strict and the authors of a 
cookbook-doc don't have to more than just creating the documentation within 
the cookbook-groups and distribute this with their packed files. This may 
be better for pmwiki-users, cause the distributed pages are restricted to 
pages of the groups PmWiki* and Cookbook (or PmWikiCookbook or Cookbook* 
(for translated Cookbooks) ?) Maybe I would prefer that. Well, I think 
there are other cookbook-writers out there who may have other opinions ? :-)
On the other hand it could be combined both: Writing Cookbook.SomeDocs 
including a [[^Coobook]] entry :-)
