Personally I think you'd be better off to keep the easy to install and manage goals, but don't be overly simple. In this day and age, and especially since you plan to make heavy use of ajax, people aren't really looking for simple. They're looking for easy to use and manage, but they also want the powerful features that make the system special. If your system has nothing that sets it apart from other systems, no one is going to use it. You have to have something that stands out.
Aside from that, I think you should definitely come up with a very well designed plan. Not having to do things twice, or move things around once you've done them, is a very good thing, particularly when you're discussing a large project being developed by geographically and linguistically separated people. And while I don't think I want to be a programmer, I'll volunteer to write documentation when needed. --Colin On 11/30/06, Pierre Minnieur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > since symfony is announced to become stable in the next future, I've > started my weblog project called "entropy".
