Dear list, Quoting Evan from a post he sent long ago:
“OK. I guess when you’ve got a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Just looking over different sites like Flickr, blip.fm, last.fm, delicious, etc. so many of them could be fairly easily re-implemented with StatusNet.” It would be awesome if there was something like a StatusNet Framework that let you write scalable database-driven apps. A good framework should have the following important features (IMO): * URL routing (of course) * Scaffolding (I wonder how ###START_AUTOCODE... ###END_AUTOCODE things were generated) * Plugin architecture (The current one is good) * MVC (M: Scaffolding should accomplish this, V: Extension of the Action class (great if scaffolding generates this too), C: leave it for the app developers) Some other features which can be easily obtained from StatusNet's code: * XMPP interactions and queing * Email integration * Federation (using an extensible OMB?) * OpenID * Oembed and File uploads * Other features which can make implimenting Flickr, blip.fm, last.fm, delicious, etc -like services really very simple. I think *many* devs would use a PHP web framework from an all-star team! ;) I'd even prefer this over rails. Please post your opinion on this.
