[campsite-dev] Summercamp 2004: research and presentations on the new development platform

    Dear All,

    Summercamp is coming up (16-18 August 2004), bigger and better than ever
    Wink, and we need to structure it well in order to produce tangible results
    within three days.

    This year, I would ask everybody to prepare their
    contributions/presentations ahead of time and post (or even pre-discuss)
    them on this list.

    To keep our communication tidy, in this mail, I will only deal with the
    central issue of Summercamp 2004: The new PHP development platform.

    The context:

    We have already decided on PHP, and recently we have decided that if we are
    going to move to a higher-level platform, we should base it on a CMF
    instead of a CMS, because

    A. most CMS's are not built for the type of application we are creating -
    the one to drive a news publication, and

    B. keeping synchronized with the a CMS may be difficult since they are
    usually not as modular in design as CMFs. A CMF is designed so that the
    underlying libraries can be updated without harming existing applications
    that run on top of it. If a CMS meets these needs we will certainly
    consider it

    Thus we would like see presentations / arguments on:

    1. The existing PHP content management frameworks, such as Midgard
    (actually the only one we know of, so please submit your PHP CMF of choice
    to this list). We need one volunteer for each CMF.

    2. Arguments why we should not use one and build the new Campsite using
    some lower-level building blocks such as Pear (I already see Micz's name
    next to that volunteer slot Wink.

    3. We need volunteers who will present other good CMSs out there (Mambo,
    Drupal, etc.). If anyone would like to argue, at his own risk, that we
    should tweak a CMS instead of continuing with our own development, this is
    the category to apply for. Expect to lose the argument, but good devil's
    advocates will be appreciated Wink

    Looking forward to your contributions,

    Sava

    It could be useful to declare the main differences between other CMS's
    and the application we'd like to create. To see, where is the
    difference only in name ('article' versus 'news') and where is the
    difference in some functionality ('issues').

    The main problem we need to deal with is branching from the intended
    goals of the current developers of any given CMS.

    I would add number 4 here.

    4. If we'll develop our own solution why we should be compatible with
    the plugins of some famous CMS's with hundred plugins already there.

    There is a CMF that I haven't heard mentioned on this list so far I
    think, might be worth a look. It's all based on PEAR I believe, so that
    might be good, eh, Micz?

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/seagull/

    Also, Typo3 has been recommended to me. Very modular, apparently.
    PHP/MySQL. Stacks of documentation. Has nice 'in-page editing' feature
    which was intriguing.

    To be honest, there is no risk for the volunteer. The main reason
    against this would be proud. I agree, it's hard to find stronger
    argument, so I won't be volunteer (I'm the proud member of developer
    team). Smile

    Here is a list of CMFs:

    http://www.oscom.org/matrix/index.html

    CMFs written in PHP are:

    - Krysalis Foundation - LGPL (http://www.interaktonline.com/products/Krysalis/)
    - Midgard - LGPL (http://www.midgard-project.org/)
    - Xaraya - GPL (http://www.xaraya.com/)

    I would like to study Krysalis Foundation; anybody volunteering for Midgard and
    Xaraya?
