iStrip future

Some pelimary work has commenced on a next-generation version of iStrip. At the moment it is simply called iStrip 2 but there may be a name change at some point as the new version is planned to be much more advanced than the original, featuring an object-oriented approach, a database-driven back end and possibly a plugin architecture so that it can be taylored in terms of features as well as appearence.

So far most of the work done has been in the form of generic classes that can be used across several projects, including a calendar drawing class and a form validator. Not much has been done yet on anything that's purely iStrip-specific, and a feature wishlist is still being constructed but there are quite a few ideas on the cards.

In the meantime, future releases of the current iStrip are most likely going to be maintainence releases with few new features. The iStrip interface and codebase are both starting to get quite overloaded with new stuff, and some of the code was written way back before I really knew what I was doing wiht PHP.
