Hi WIm,

Sure, as usual in OS projects, fatigue of being to few to work: having a
responsive community is essential to survive.
But it's a deception with php evolution in php5 and its OO level too.

Sure, I innove a bit less but I can work faster ;p
I was an ardent fan of the node tree hierarchy as opposed to MVC.
Though I must say that MVC implemented like this is very efficient.
Not due to the MVC itself, but more to the very good language (ruby) and
to the good ideas (generators, ActiveRecord taking confs from db without
description files...).

Ah. Php as professional language doesn't seem very convincing to me.
But such considerations are more troll like than real discussions ;-)
So i won't continue.

Good luck with the changes you proposed, seems very attractive.
