Write a handbook page explaining how PAC relates to Drupal

This task needs to be defined more clearly with respect to the reason this is important, resources, and what exactly the deliverable is. It's probably best to not have an optional component, since that makes it a little less clear to a reviewer when the task has been completed.

For info on how to create and write a good task, please see http://groups.drupal.org/node/7360#tasks

Basically, the clearer the task is and the more focused and specific it is the more likely you are to get the results you're hoping for.

This would be a great piece of information for us to have in drupal. Especially if we can explain the advantages we have with the PAC pattern... the things people know and love like blocks.

Sadly, I don't have time to write something like this right now... but it would be a great piece of developer information.

Changed the component to reflect the new component categorization. (DocSprint @Drupalcon Szeged 2008)

No details provided for over a year later no one has stepped up to write this. Clearly PAC is not that important to the general public.

After talking to Mikey_P I must change my statement, this is a clearly a valid topic, however he agrees that its a "won't fix" since it just sits at the bottom of the queue. Its also a very high level technical document.

I appoligize for my initial statement.

I have continued to research the topic at hand, I wonder how useful an entire document will be. Im sorry but my Systems Administration class was run by a horrible professor that spent more time trying to sell his book then actually teaching anything.

I do not believe the topic is invalid, I question how to approach this topic. I am going to postpone this question, and ask Mikey_P some more questions on how to come up with a solution that works. I will engage Mikey_P on IRC, and come back with a solution.

@jhodgdon - I am marking this back to what Mikey_P (the original poster) wanted me to set it to, which was "won't fix". I would appreciate it if you contacted me before changing this again, for there has been allot of non documented discussion about this post.
