[Openinteract-dev] OI2 status from Perrin's talk

[Chris W. <ch...@cw...>]

You might be interested: I went to Perrin's YAPC::NA talk [1] on MVC  
web frameworks; the frameworks under discussion were OI2, Catalyst  
and CGI::Application. OI2 came out looking decent, if a little  
complicated -- one of his comments was: "If you don't like  
configuration files, you won't like OpenInteract2". Tough to argue  
with that...

We did get props for tackling messy problems like i18n, having lots  
of documentation, and for having a decent auto-generated CRUD  
application. Fortunately, time ran out before Perrin could get to OI2  
negatives :-)

He'll be giving this talk again at OSCON in early August, so I'd like  
to get the next beta out before then if possible, if only so the  
Class::DBI interface can be released.
