I actually think he has a point that we should strive to create one good framework for PHP. This is very much like PEAR trying to give people good framework/class solutions. If you had read my message you would have seen that I suggested it may fit within PEAR. He was asking for cmf.php.net though which I just don't see happening. And frankly, looking at the quality of his site compared to other content management frameworks out there, I don't see his being at the top of the heap. That doesn't mean it couldn't be one day. But if you are seriously suggesting saying "yes" at this point and setting up cmf.php.net for him and basically framing his system as *the* PHP content management system, then please say so.

I don't think we need to say "no" before the PEAR guys take a look at it and maybe discuss it in more detail with the author. I just didn't understand the rush of you saying "no" without waiting for others to respond and discussing it in more details. We might come to the conclusion that it's a lousy idea but I prefer coming to that conclusion hearing other opinions too. We might come to a conclusion that if a zillion things are changed it might be nice to have. Or the discussion might spawn a new Pear framework. Andi
