[simplog-general] Request for Comments

[Jeremy A. <ash...@13...>]

Hi all,

Work on the application framework for 1.0 is going very slowly.  As much 
fun as I am having creating an application framework from scratch, I've 
come to realize it takes quite a lot of time, which is something I am in 
short supply of.  In light if these developments, I want to propose a 
couple of ideas to the community and get some comments back.   Here's 
the 3 options I'm proposing and my pros and cons of it:

1) drop the current work i'm doing and use a current PHP framework (Zend 
Framework, CakePHP, etc..)

pros: framework already built, MVC frameworks straightforward, easy to 
add additional functionality
cons: i don't like some MVC conventions, too much code


2) drop the current framework and extend another open source app (drupal 
is my choice for this)


pros: solid platform, modules already built, large support community, 
quicker turnaround time, extensible
cons: must strip out unwanted modules, must keep up with drupal patches 
and updates

3) finish work on current framework

pros: will have ultimate flexibility in design and function
cons: not enough time to work on, not enough volunteers to help out

what say you?
