Re: CMSystem written in PHP (clarification)

Let me explain: Perhaps CMF (Content Management Framework) would then be a more accurate description of your product. > Sadly, though, Raven does not use any existing PEAR classes.

I guess I would read that as a warning sign. Not saying that you're not an excellent coder, I would still assume that your codebase would have stood to benefit from tools out there: db abstraction, templating systems, caching frameworks, etc. > But I guess this would be better left off to actual inspection of my > code, if anybody is willing and has time to look at it. I would *love* to look at your code. I'm not a PEAR code approver, but I've been working on a PHP CMF called PHlexDB -- and I know I could stand to learn a lot from other tools out there. Obviously you are also welcome to have a look at my stuff -- that's the point of OS software, afterall :-): http://phlexdb.org/ On the side -- what sort of CMS features does Raven support? In particular, I'm wondering about things like localization, versioning, and workflow. These are all problems that I've been tackling myself and would love to see some PHP solutions that handle these well (particularly the latter 2, as there are lots of good 18n solutions out there).
