We have already felt the pain Nate ;) Mambo has a core + core extensions. With the release of Mambo 4.6 a couple of years ago we began releasing two versions, which were called "Mambo" (or, in the earlier days, "Mambo Complete") and "Mambo Lite". Mambo Lite is the core with no core extensions. All core extensions were refactored to become optional installs.
This was done with two outcomes in mind - firstly, that when Mambo went PHP5 only, the extensions would be available as a one-click install from the backend, and secondly, so that anyone could take up the core extensions and use these as a basis for further development of the functionality. So, with the next significant release of Mambo being PHP5.2+ only, and MySQL4.1+, the only distro will be effectively Mambo Lite. This makes it pretty easy for us all to get our heads around making Mambo even more modular as we bake it ;) Lynne On Nov 26, 5:20 am, Nate <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Based on your stated goals, the two suggestions I would add are: > > (1) Develop as many of Mambo's features as possible as extensions. > This will not only make the CMS itself as flexible as possible (and > the CMS's extension API as robust as possible), but it will also help > you 'feel the pain' of extension developers as they write new > extensions or migrate old ones. > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
