The Bean module (http://drupal.org/project/bean) create custom blocks using entities.

Discussion topics include:

  • Implementations of the beans
  • Improvements to the bean module
  • Replacing core blocks

Please come with your questions!

A big elephant in the room is how blocks are placed. I know beans won't solve this, but since it's one half of the equation, it'd be nice if there is an extension possibility inside of the bean code.

Yay beans!
