[Phpwebsite-developers] Re: Several Questions

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

As a new member to the project as of this week, let me make a few
observations.  I have spoken directly with Brian Brown at Appalachian State
and he is very interested in outside developer input such as your own.  At
this point we are reviewing the plug-in API for 0.8 and I believe momentum
will pick up significantly after that is complete.  I guess we need a
procedure for giving CVS write privileges.

My goals, as I've shared with Brian on the telephone are as follows, most
important at list end:

. Database abstraction layer (I prefer Postgres)
. Port of phpBB for forum system discussions
. System to integrate or port phpgroupware plug-ins
. Abstraction system or table field additions to allow multiple
_independent_ organizations/departments to exist using the same installation
and database tables (so management is easy), but content remains isolated.

Ack.

Have you looked at Phorum? What do you think about that?

Now _that_ would be cool!

I do most of the work for the OS and server stuff so my comments on develper
stuff will be limited.

This is a logicl step.  We do want phpwebsite to be versital and used by any
sql system.

This would be a great plugin.  We have had others ask about this.

We also us phpgroupware here and love it.  As a system person It would be
nice to have ldap for all autherazation(phpgroupware has this as i am sure
you know).

[Phpwebsite-developers] Database abstraction layer

I just did a quick poke around freshmeat, and I found "ADODB" which is a GPLd 
(PHP) wrapper class that in theory supports MySQL, Postgres, MSSQL, Oracle, 
Interbase and ODBC.  Has anyone heard of another such project to provide a 
standard API for database access under PHP?  Perhaps if it is usable and 
stable...

Also:
I didn't get much feedback on my questions yesterday.  Is there a project 
"leader" or some kind of HNIC for this project?  An email address or phone 
number maybe?

Well, I am following PEAR development a bit, and if it is in any usable
state, we should go for that! It will be in every PHP distribution in the
future, has (good) coding guidelines and naming conventions and is actively
developed. Take a look at pear.php.net (although there isn't much to see) or
better yet, browse CVS at cvs.php.net and look for the PEAR packages.

Well, if you follow teh About us... link on phpwebsite.appstate.edu, you
will find Brian W. Brown, along with his phone number. He seems to be
something along the lines of "project leader". Also the SourceForge page
lists admins and developers (on the upper right side of the summary page).
