Thanks for the input, Sean. I sincerely appreciate your experience and advice.
It seems that everyone sees a different part of Plum as its main focus. Some think of Plum primarily as a code generator; others think of it as a way to automate the admin side of a site; and some think of it as a way to organize code. While it does those things, I'm hoping to focus it more as a framework upon which to build applications. We've taken a lot of advice from a lot of folks, and we're making some important changes to the core framework that we've learned from in V1.0 and the earlier betas. Now all we have to do is find the time to implement it! :) PS-- If you have time at CFUNITED, David and I would love to buy you a beer.
