Dashamir Hoxha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: PHP Web Application Framework System name: phpwebapp Type: GNU Description: phpWebApp is an application framework which makes easy and simple the task of building PHP web applications based on relational databases. It separates the task of designing and changing the layout of the application from the task of implementing the logic of the application, by using XML templates that are an extension of XHTML. It also simplifies the task of implementing the logic of the application by offering an event based programming model. In addition, phpWebApp tries to offer modularity and code reusability to the community of webApp developers. For more details see the homepage of the framework: http://phpwebapp.sourceforge.net/ The summary page of the project at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwebapp The source code can be downloaded at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41147 Other Software Required: phpWebApp depends on PHP, of course. Since the license of PHP is not compatible with GNU GPL (I have only recently discovered this) does this make a problem for phpWebApp becoming a GNU package? If this is the case, then we should consider rewriting the framework in another language, PHP is not crutial to it. Such languages can be Perl, Python, Ruby, Guile, etc. I think that Python or Ruby would be OK, however I don't know which is more suitable on the view of the GNU system (from the license pointing of view and things like this). Actually, I don't have experience with none of these languages, however, if somebody who knows well one of them would be willing to rewrite the framework, I would be ready to help him. I can help him to understand how the framework works, how it is designed and implemented, and to translate any part of PHP code that seems difficult to understand. Other Comments: As you can see in the URLs provided at the project description, the project is already registered at sourceforge.net. I intend to continue the development of the project at sourceforge.net because I believe that they offer more flexibility and a better service than savannah (e.g. savannah does not support PHP in the web page of the project). However, it is my wish and intent to make phpwebapp a GNU package, and for this reason I want to create this project at savannah. _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
