Some time ago I posted about the possiblities of including an MVC framework into PEAR. At the time it was met with mixed emotions as some people had a hard time conceptualizing why having a framework in PEAR would be beneficial. I am hoping that by giving this topic a little rest that others have had time to become with the MVC design pattern and see how the benefits of such a package could benefit PHP projects. So, again a brief overview of the MVCnPHP package I have built:

I'd really like to see this added to PEAR as I think the benefits to large PHP applications is tremendous. Questions, concerns?

I think that it doesnt belong in PEAR since we are a repository of loosely organized libaries and not a framework, which is a tightly organized set pf packages with the necessary glue. Its simply beyond the scope of this project. That is not to say its a bad idea or anything like that. Its just that it makes more sense as its own separate project which may or may not be build on top of pear packages. regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
