RE: [Phrame-devel] Project Stalled?

[Peter \DeCaf\ P. <de...@al...>]

Arnold,

I'm really glad to hear that you are working on fixing that problem,
because I believe phrame can become a very interesting and useful
project. Well, it already is, but there is always room for improvement
and new ideas everywhere.

I would definately like to contribute to this project in any way that I
can, but as of now I'm not sure in what areas I could, since I have no
previous experience of working with Struts or MVC nor with Phrame. I'm
currently trying out Phrame with Smarty templates trying to learn it.  

I've gotten some small ideas for improvement or new features here and
there but I will need to dig deeper and learn more before I can decide
wether those ideas are good.

As I see it the main problem with phrame as of now is a lack of good
documentation, which unfortunately holds true for very many Open Source
projects. Good documentation is one of the most important parts of any
programming library/framework if it is to be attractive to its intended
audience.  I've struggled quite a bit trying to grasp the concepts and
ideas and understand how to use Phrame and I'm starting to get the hang
of it after reading through Jason's two articles in PHP Architect about
MVC and Phrame.  But still, better documentation and more examples
should be a first priority after fixing any bugs and implementing the
most essential new features that have been posted on this list. This is
in my humble oppinion only ofcourse, since I'm not a member of this
project I'm in no position to decide these things, but take it as a
small suggestion from a newbie to Phrame and MVC who really thinks this
is the solution I've been looking for. 

Writing documentation is something I guess I could have contributed too,
had I had any experience using Phrame and/or MVC before.

So with this explanation I leave it for you to decide wether I might be
able to help out with something, which I'll gladly do if I'm able! Just
let me know.  Otherwise, I'll let you know the moment I feel confident
that I can contribute with something that I see is needed!

Sincerely, 
Peter Palotas.
