Hello Alex, You can absolutely use apostrophePlugin in another Symfony project.
Check out the README. There's an "easy way" section that explains about our sandbox project, how to clone it in svn for an easier starting point, etc., and a "hard way" section (that's not all that hard) that spells out how to configure the plugin in an existing site. You may find yourself referring to the sandbox project now and then to figure out how best to configure things. But yes, it can definitely be used in a project that doesn't begin life with it. You may find that the engine modules feature winds up being a good way to draw your own Symfony modules into CMS space as it is typically a very painless upgrade to modules you have already written.
