Re: [Fofredux-devel] Re: MVC rethought

[Evan R. <eva...@gm...>]

hey guys, i get the feeling we are going in the right direction
here...perhaps even a bit over-doinging it, but if it's good, then why
not.

Personally, i'm not a fan of the url rewrite style...but i know i'm in
the minority there, so if you guys go for it, then i can play along.=20
i prefer my querystring with a few items that are changeable...whereas
we really don't have so much....and if you are still going to be
working in the frameset (which it looks like is included in our UI
redo), you won't really see the url much anyway...so it's ok for the
user.  but i really don't care...it's not a battle worth fighting for
me.

what could become more of an issue, is perhaps php4 vs php5, as we've
seen with the class structure and so on.  if we want to do something
OO in php, we might want to think about moving completely to php5,
since 4 is not considered real OO.  and it'd make our implementation a
bit easier to do once correctly.
but in doing so, we don't want to lose any users.  i've been on php5
for a long time now, but i can't talk for anyone else.  would it be
possible to take this step, or is it too early for something like
that?

in other news, i'll try to fix that bug in my php4 incompatible
options class tonight, but then i'll need to take some time off.  i've
got some urgent issues to take care of outside of the project.=20
hopefully i can be back up and running in a week, in time to start
implementing khaled's design.  but i still am available to mail, since
i can do that from work.
