There are examples of ocsigen websites:
http://ocsigen.org/ocsimore/sources/
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/scm/viewvc.php/?root=ocsforge
http://ocsigen.org/ocsigenserver/sources/examples

You could even found some of them outside ocsigen websites:
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/scm/viewvc.php/?root=lambdoc
http://github.com/mfp/ocsiblog

But, I think the documentation issue is a chicken and egg problem. If
more people are interested in ocsigen, the documentation will improve...

I am experimenting with ocsigen since one month and I think it is a good
framework. It provides a good type checking of HTML struct, errors
outputted are not very clear, but you know where the problem is.
