Subject: Block deployment: working with blocks from a user's point of view
As mentioned in a mail a couple of days ago, I've started to work on the
block
deployment mechanism. This forced me to think a lot about how I (and
hopefully others) want to develop Cocoon 2.2 applications.
I wrote two tutorials that guide a developer step by step through the process
of
- creating a block[1] and
- creating a web application that uses blocks[2].
At the time of writing this, the functionality described in both documents
has
only been implemented partly. Nevertheless I publish them at this early stage
in order to get feedback from you to make the first contact with Cocoon 2.2
as simple as possible.
This should also give everybody the chance of getting involved without
having to dig into the code (though I would be more than pleased if somebody
does).
I have also committed the IDE and build tool independant block deployer[3]
and a skeleton for the block deployer mojos[4] that will wrap the general
block deployer.

[2] http://cocoon.zones.apache.org/daisy/documentation/g2/797.html
The above two tutorials seems to be a good start. Now I think I need to
get in touch with the two below to play through the samples in the
tutorials above to get where to start extending/implementing what's
still missing.
My final concern in this will be that Cocoon can be used as a platform
(not just a framework) to host an arbitrary number of independant
applications maintainable by the set of tools we develop/deliver here
for deployment of such application and management of the Cocoon
instance.
