Steve! That's sacrilege! :-)

As a non-framework person, except our own of course, I enjoy the various
folk that have decided to use one framework rather than another and then get
evangelistic about it. But frameworks rule!(according to the fans)

In reality I have always had dilemmas about frameworks, none cover all bases
so you need to know more than one and then "why bother?". I was impressed
with FW/1 with its description at WebDU last week, so Phil you have to keep
up the good work, as a tool to have a "non-interventionist" 
framework but we had the problem recently in terms of a tool we have been
using in-house for many years now, our own CMS. We have decided to go Open
Source with it but like all internal "products" it is full of all sorts of
silly stuff and in our case it was used in the early days by our trainees to
hone their CF skills so has some seriously silly things there. In the years
since then it has evolved and is now used for some serious websites but as
it grew we felt we were following down the same path that FarCry followed, a
CMS that turned into a framework. So we have steered away from that: "we are
not a framework!" :-) FarCry is great, why duplicate it?

Well we didn't, it is not a framework (INAF, can I copyright that?). We call
the beast SLCMS (choose you own acronym for the SL bit but officially it is
Simple Light (from a users perspective)) and even though we have not yet
released it yet as Open Source in the sense that we are still tidying it up
in our spare time you can find it at: 
http://svn.slcms.net/codebase/
(having watched the brilliant session on git at WebDU we have just moved to
Mercurial (interesting how one thing leads to another) but we will keep the
SVN version current once we get to a release version.)

Chad, see what you have started? You haven't changed :-)
