-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Please vote on the acceptance of Zeta Components for incubation at the Apache Incubator. The full proposal is available at the end of this message and on the wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/ZetaComponentsProposal We ask the Incubator PMC to sponsor the project with Erik Abele as the Champion and Craig L.

The vote is open for the next 72 hours and only votes from the Incubator PMC are binding. ~ Proposal: Zeta Components ~ Zeta Components is a high-quality library of loosely-coupled PHP components. - -- Status - -- The proposal has been discussed on the incubator mailinglist. 3 mentors have volunteered, the confirmation of Julien Vermillard and Christian Grobmeier for the IPMC is pending. - Proposal - Originally developed as an open source project named eZ Components [1] by eZ Systems AS [2] under New BSD license. eZ Systems has agreed to relicense the source code and documentation, under the name Zeta Components, and donate it to the Apache Software Foundation. The goal of the project is to provide high-quality, loosely-coupled components for the development of applications based on PHP version 5.1 and above. Zeta contains standard PHP framework components (e.g. database abstraction, templating, email, image manipulation); and modules which are unique in the PHP world, like a document format conversion component, a WebDAV server module and a workflow based programming framework. The project is developed with a strong focus on code and documentation quality, and backwards compatibility. It follows a well-defined development process with extensive architecture and design discussions, and prescribes a test-driven development approach. - -- Background - -- PHP is the most common language for developing web applications, but is also in use in other areas. While the language itself already ships with many libraries to solve different tasks, there is still a need for user land libraries to provide more complex repetitive functionality. Zeta provides components dedicated to such functionality. An example for a tasks that can be solved using Zeta are processing and sending of email. This is already possible from within pure PHP. But working with multi-part MIME emails is not easily possible and a real pain when doing that on your own. For that reason, a module exists in Zeta which allows the developer to easily create and send such emails and to receive and process them. The Zeta project currently consists of the following components: * Archive * Authentication * AuthenticationDatabaseTiein * Base * Cache * Configuration * ConsoleTools * Database * DatabaseSchema * Debug * Document * EventLog * EventLogDatabaseTiein * Execution * Feed * File * Framework * Graph * GraphDatabaseTiein * ImageAnalysis * ImageConversion * Mail * MvcAuthenticationTiein * MvcFeedTiein * MvcMailTiein * MvcTemplateTiein * MvcTools * PersistentObject * PersistentObjectDatabaseSchemaTiein * PhpGenerator * Search * SignalSlot * SystemInformation * Template * TemplateTranslationTiein * Translation * TranslationCacheTiein * Tree * TreeDatabaseTiein * TreePersistentObjectTiein * Url * UserInput * Webdav * Workflow * WorkflowDatabaseTiein * WorkflowEventLogTiein * WorkflowSignalSlotTiein As can be seen, there are typical web-application modules included, such as the Feed component - which allows users to generate and consume different types of aggregation feeds -, the already mentioned Mail component, a template component for website templates and a WebDAV server component. Beside that, the library also contains many modules which are not only suitable for web applications, like a component for managing various archive file formats, multiple layers of database abstraction, tools for image manipulation, basic interfaces and implementations of a model-view-controller structure and more. In contrast to other frameworks, the components in Zeta are loosely coupled and there are almost no hard inter-dependencies between them. Instead, if a component can be integrated with another one, a so-called Tiein component is provided, supplying the classes necessary to couple the components. This allows users to cherry pick the components they need, without the need of using the whole stack. That is especially useful for using the provided modules in legacy code or when there is a standard framework to build new applications on. - - Rationale - - Zeta is a library of high-quality, loosely coupled components for application develo

This took a bit more time than expected, and I forgot the required delay once the board acknowledges a new Incubator PMC member [1] - taking this into account we'll have a final answer tomorrow at 4PM.
