Announcing new PHP software

If you are interested in an Open Source platform for database-backed web development, which implements the of the necessary admin tools and data models, and provides a set of important libraries for quickly building up dynamic web sites, check out Terra Cotta: http://www.terracottasoftware.com/ Here's the blurb I wrote for it: The Terra Cotta system is a collection of website design and management tools, data architectures, and programming libraries. It is useful for the modular implementation and maintenance of web applications, and for resource sharing between them. It is similar in concept to Zope for Python or Mason for perl, but does not depend on being able to install Apache modules or new scripting packages, and so is very accessible to webmasters on more "average" installations and hosting plans. It has an auto-installer as well, which makes it pretty easy for webmasters to download and install the system on their servers, as well as get new scripts for the system. The status of the project right now is "pre-release." I am hoping that some feedback from the excellent web developers that populate this list will help fine-tune the architecture and point out bugs, holes that need plugging, important features that are missing, etc. If you decide you're interested in working on the core of Terra Cotta, please send me an email. -Greg Billock
