I love the Zend Framework's functionality, but so much of how all the necessary components hang together in a production quality Website is difficult to discern.
I would like to get all of the following configured and working before I write a single line of application specific code: configuration specified, connect to stub data store that include user login and user role tables, load reusable utility modules, enforce user roles and authentication across the utility modules, include an admin module, enable caching, provide command-line maintenance scripts, expose a subset of the stub data store via a REST api, include a test harness, and manage dev, staging, and production versions of a Website. Right now doing the above seems like a very daunting task using the Zend Framework. I know some will say not all projects need the above, but I would say almost all production Web sites do. Some would say this would be very hard to do without Zend Framework, and I would agree. Buy if there are Websites in production using ZF, they must have solved many if not all of these issues.
