Version differences - which to focus on for implementation

[Gregg Horan]

I've been trying to get my bearings and start trying to setup shindig  
with my handler implementations etc.

I'm struggling a little on which version (from source) I should be  
using for a new implementation :
-1.1 beta5: I'm running into issues building.  I found patches that  
address some of the problems (guice jmx jar)... but not done, and not  
sure how many I have to go.
-Latest Trunk: it looks like it's in process of being refactored (at  
least the container - gadgets.js doesn't exist anymore - shindig- 
container now?) and none of the samples I tried work anymore.

Can anyone recommend which to focus on?  Is the core of the trunk  
version in good shape, just the samples and docs haven't been  
completed?  Or would it be better to just apply patches to 1.1b5 (and  
is there a good list of recommended patches?).

Thanks
