Re: Fw: PHP XMF

I didn't mean to start any trouble. I may have seem a little heated, but it felt like a very quick negative response towards my idea. I have no personal agenda or gripes. I didn't mean to put down your MidGard project, I am sure it probably fits the bill. Whether there is a cmf.php.net domain or another site makes no difference to me. I just have some CMF ideas (from my experience with other CMF software products) that I wanted to share and collaborate to bring PHP into this form of development. Being an IA I obviously have my own perspectives and points of view I would like to contribute and collaborate. That's really it. I want to collaborate with PHP developers to build a solid CMF on pure PHP that can easily be equal to or better than the CMF by Zope (http://cmf.zope.org). PS the PHP CMF standard (my suggestion) does not have to be XPC as is. I have built and designed a conceptual framework. What code is used to implement these ideas do not have to necessarily be mine. The point I am trying to make is that there are options, many options and if there are developers who like this idea please let me know.
