Hi Marco,

Speaking as a developer, switching over to ZF is a reasonably big architectural change. And if you are anyway doing this, I feel there you could look at alternatives apart from ZF that could offer better scalability and performance.

As an example, you could consider Agavi and symfony frameworks (which are more "closely coupled" than ZF). They are more scalable and also have a much smaller footprint than ZF.

Just my $.02.

Hi,

the story behind is that ZF seems to be very attractive to developers. Sex 
sells.
I personally am afraid that ZF could decrease the performance massively and the 
package itself is already at about 20 MB! Huge, isn't it?

Independent from the story points and just a creazy idea: Would it be technically possible to have an 
"interface" or "connector" to offer ZF as an alternative? We could deliver this 
"connector" with the releases and those who want to work with ZF - download it.

Cheers
Marco

Betreff: Re: [oxid-dev-general] Evaluate Zend Framework for eShop

Hello, I guess Erik is talking about using: adodblite vs Zend_Db / Zend_Db_Table
ccval             ?
openid           vs    Zend_Auth
phpmailer      vs    Zend_Mail / Zend_Mime
smarty          ?
tcpdf             vs    Zend_Pdf
jpgraph          ?
Changing all these libraries, or even more, would produce OXID eShop 5 :)

Subject: [oxid-dev-general] Evaluate Zend Framework for eShop



Hi,

We are currently investigating whether it makes sense to move to Zend Framework 
for the libraries contained within OXID eShop. There is no decision yet, 
neither any concrete plans. We would like to first collect input from our 
community, to see whether it makes sense to follow this path. Any thoughts?

Regards,

Erik
