adding cocoon blocks to forrest

[Alex Batlin <al...@batlin.com>]

I have written up what needs to be done to add cocoon blocks to forrest :
http://www.batlin.com/devland/xmlpub/blocks.html. i would appreciate if
people can review this and if anyone has suggestions on how to resolve some
of the questions I posed.

 

Many thanks.

There is a discussion on the dev@cocoon list about cocoon.xconf and we 
should wait for this outcome before we code in any direction

David, thanks very much for the comments.
Last thing I wanted to do was upset anyone, or present forrest in bad light.
I think it is great. 

As for the questions, I have raised them before with mixed responses. I felt
it better to publish something early so that people can start benefiting
from my experience as opposed to waiting. Are there any plans for a build
script that will create a forrest plugin out of cocoon block?

It would be better that you raised your issues on this list.
In particular you have some declarations about your confusion.
Why not discuss that here.

The document is quite negative on poor Forrest. You make it sound
like a lack that you need to understand and build Cocoon blocks
in order to add advanced functionality to Forrest. However that
is the intention.

Forrest's documentation is not at any Wiki, so be aware that it
is probably out-of-date.
