  1. At least they described it... by Myself · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Kudos to the Slashdot editors for working some description into the blurb. I'm so tired of posts trumpeting some grand new project with a nonsense name, that maybe 2% of the readership will care about. Maybe the rest of us would care, but we can't be bothered to look up a new project name every time some dimwit creates a Sourceforge account.

  2. Other PHP Framework Projects are much more Mature by RaisinBread · · Score: 2, Interesting

    CakePHP, for example.

    Why is this getting press? Maybe cause they say 'platform', 'enterprise', and 'scalability' too many times in a single paragraph.

    Oh, and Jon Hicks called. He wants his logo back.

    Hmm, guess I'd better take a closer look at PHP5. I've used PHP 3 and 4 for small to medium sized database-driven web apps, and I've used Java and J2EE for medium to large to enterprise scale web apps, and I would not have agreed with your statement had it been about PHP 3 or 4. I do appreciate the facility the language gives for some simple things (at the expense of type safety), but I can't imagine working in a large team environment with PHP... there's not really a lot of good ways (that I know of) to enforce coding standards.

    Pardon my ignorance... but what exactly is a "development and deployment" solution? What makes it enterprise level?

  5. Nothing to see here... by metallic · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have no use for yet another MVC framework or a GUI framework for PHP. What I really need is a PHP application server. I don't need anything anywhere near on the scale of what I've used in the J2EE world. But what I do need is the ability to easily install PHP applications and to persist data in server memory and share that data among all requests to the application. Looking at the roadmap, I can't expect that from the Klorofil project until at least version 0.4.

    And they really need to get a native speaker of English to go through and edit the website. I'm not trying to be overly critical, but all the broken English on the website makes the entire project look rather unprofessional. They really cant afford that if they want the project to reach critical mass.
