[Webwork-user] webwork symphony and more

[Marc L. <dev...@lo...>]

Hi,

First i wanna introduce myself briefly. I am senior consultant for
a german IT company and doing mostly projects in the java and php
space. After doing 1-2 java web based projects without the usage
of any pattern (no front controller, no real command dispatching...)
i felt that this kind of software is a maintenance nightmare in the
long run.

My first impression of webwork is quite nice. After several tests
with other MVC Frameworks (struts, turbine, ....) webwork seems to
be the most transparent.
I am going to use it with velocity, cause i used velocity before and
am really confident with this template engine.

I also hope that i will have the time to contribute to the project somehow.

I just saw a message explaining to move to opensymphony. Would it make
any difference regarding developer gain? I dont know, for me opensymphony
was not one of the major open source project sites, but perhaps i just
missed it...

But the idea to attract more developers seems to be 1+, cause the work
needed to maintain a full featured project site is (with all its services)
is crazy. I maintain(ed) an oss project site for a php based groupware and
there were times where i havnt time to develop for the project cause
of site services maintenance.

So i am excited overall and even more excited if this mail will reach the
list after having bounce problems in subscribing :)

[when this mail arrives... i changed the SMTP Server for my mails and
created a postmaster account regarding RFC...only to communicate with you...] :)
