[Phpwebsite-developers] Learning from phpGroupWare

[Todd O. <to...@da...>]

In developing an application framework for phpWebSite, I have tried to
review as many projects as possible to learn from their success (and
mistakes).  I continue to see many areas where we can look to phpGW's
success.  The following documentation link gives a good overview of their
plug-in API and language API.

http://www.phpgroupware.org/phpgroupware/phpgwapi/doc/

For those working with the translation interface, is phpGW's database
translation system too much of a performance hit?  Is it easier just to work
with a text file?

I would like some others to review the following code from the phpGW project
(phpGroupWare-0.9.9p1.tar.gz):

Access Control List class:
phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_accounts_shared.inc.php

Templates (the templates look very much like those proposed here before,
although they use the phplib template class):
phpgroupware/phpgwapi/templates/

Session Management and general object design:
phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_common.inc.php
phpgroupware/phpgwapi/inc/phpgw.inc.php

Do we use the phpgw classes as they are, modify them to meet our need, or
neither?
