I think he meant it as in 'a school of Barracuda' (fish). Or if he didn't
then maybe my sense of humor is just a little off kilter ;-)

Yes, I'd agree. BConfig was a proof-of-concept, to demonstrate that you
could in fact re-use DOMs. I wouldn't use it as an example of
'best-practices' approach to building webapps.

Unfortunately, we don't have a really great example to point you to at this
point - we have developed a very robust yet simple approach that works well
for the internal app that we are building right now with Barracuda, and I'd
eventually like to turn this into a sample and release it publically. But
its not ready yet and probably won't be before the end of the year...so your
best bet in the meantime is looking at the Simple Login Example and Diez's
contrib stuff.

I'd echo this sentiment - the cvs tree is _very_ stable, and it would make
life easier for you if you can work from that (although I understand why you
may not want to or be able to).

Welcome to the community and have fun learning Barracuda! Please feel free
to holler if you have any questions...
