Re: tiles/blocks

Hi guys,

1st of all: nice work Victor!

Me and my colleague Giorgio Borelli had done some work on composite pages
with tiles, using normal tiles and plone.app.tiles/blocks for rendering.
Rendering tiles on the fly it's as simple as using the standard add/edit
forms of tiles and get the response back via ajax (with good amount of
javascript around it).

In our cases we had a fixed layout with one or two columns but using libs
such as gridster and alike to get a dynamic layout would not require that
much work IMO.

We are going to give two talks on this at PLOG [1] and we can discuss it at
the open garden session!

Cheers,
S.
