Plugins as Blocks

The Cocoon folk gave us an overview of the forthcoming Blocks
implementation in Cocoon. This basically allows new functionlaity to be
loaded into Cocoon quickly and easily. There is audio of their
presentation and our subsequent questions in SVN.

I think our current plan is to watch closely as the Cocoon folk get
things going and to start experimenting as soon as the itch gets strong
enough.

This issue is the result of an ApacheCon discussion, more, including links to the original ApacheCon Summaries at :-
