Massive refactoring
By J.Ducastel on Wednesday 6 December 2006, 11:41 - news - Permalink
After some doubts on project future, i have decided to keep on working on webappkit rather than dropping it for some existing frameworks. I've been looking at Django, Symfony and CakePHP. Django is by far my favorite, and i use it to practice my python. However PHP is still the most used language, and i think that webappkit approach still makes sense.
But i'm going to rewrite big parts of the project, focusing on packages since the beginning rather than a virtual layer on the top of the internal structure. Packages will have a physical representation as directories, and may provide their own libraries, services etc. They may have their own request handler.
The core components will theirselves be shipped as a package. It will provide a small api giving access to packages, services and libraries. Some basic requests handling libraries and services will be provided, but this task may be forwarded to one or more package(s). Think to webappkit as a meta-framework.

Are you allowed to stop and start and stop this project ? Deleting and updating poss like you do is very confusing ;)
Eh Eh. I'm the master there, all your codebase belong to me ;)
As far as i know, i'm currently the single lonely webappkit user. Therefore...
Ok, so I'll keep WAK in the beelook.
