What is the status of the Apple block?
Is there a Beta version?

Thanks

yep, the implementation has been tested in real life cases and should be 
stable and trustworthy (of course I'm happy to learn about possible bugs)


we can use some more people tossing around with the ideas in there and 
send us some new use cases that maybe push up the need for more 
elaborate API design that e.g. allows for better integration with Woody 
and the like

the API is quite basic ATM, but as you can see from the samples it seems 
to offer already enough to be quite useable (IMHO)


main thing that is lacking ATM is some more detailed docos and/or 
wiki-pages, but again: the samples should get you started....

In Cocoon we don't have alpha or beta status, they are marked as stable 
or unstable, what refers to interfaces at first.

Quote from blocks.properties:
# unstable blocks are currently under development and do not guarantee 
that the
# contracts they expose (API, xml schema, properties, behavior) will remain
# constant in time. Developers are not committed to back-compatibility 
just yet.
# This doesn't necessarily mean the blocks implementation is unstable or
# the code can't be trusted for production, but use with care and watch
# its development as things might change over time before they are marked
# stable.

What's the status of the apple block can tell you only one person I 
guess, so I will cc him.

Can you give any status information, Marc?

Joerg
