I would consider it alpha only in that it's API is not guaranteed to be
backwards compatible with future changes. It is being used reliably by
several people in production code, and has had many improvements since
it's first incarnation and should be fairly stable.

Many examples are included with the version in SVN, these are currently
the best place to look for information on getting started. A lively IRC
community also exists on #twisted.web at irc.freenode.net.
