Hello, a friend of mine and I wrote a framework together. I have the strong feeling that PIWI should be based on ZC in near future since it offers solutions for much problems we have. Additionally ZC can help PIWI to concentrate on its maingoal. Maybe there is a chance to pull out a few classes, level it to ZC quality standarts and include them there. This being done, the next logical step after rebuilding PIWI on the back of ZC would be to propose the framework to Apache.
However I would like to know if there has been a decision meanwhile on the prefix issue (see below). I would like to avoid to include ZC before this change has been done, if it is going to happen. My preference is to change it. Its basically a complete rebrand and when ZC offers some kind of helper script for users to at least announce the files which use the wrong prefix, everything should be pretty ok. I also think it's the last chance to do such a change. When the next release is out people will claim about backwards compatiblity. OK would like to hear you opinions on the prefix change.
