Hello Arnold! That would be great. May I suggest the bottlenecks that I 
experienced during my development with the current release (in 
descending order):

- All models/actions/forms are included at every invocation of the 
controller, causing substantial resource usage. The controller should 
include them automatically "on the fly" based on the values of the 
"_TYPE"-keys in "mappings.php". This approach obsoletes editing of 
"include.php" resulting in easier deployment.

- Views are not integrated in the MVC class hierarchy and mappings. 
Instead, the browser is currently redirected to an arbitrary file by the 
controller, resulting in another HTTP interaction. Furthermore, I 
observed in the development project that I currently lead, that the 
views are becoming a big mess. Developers are 'doing it their own way' 
because Phrame doesn't provide and force the usage of view classes. BTW: 
Smarty can't help here.

I'm interested in addressing the issues outlined above. Currently I'm 
very busy, but I expect this situation to change within a few months.

You're welcome! Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
