Hi,

let me clarify some things here. 

We are _not_ implementing Zend Framework in the shop as part of the normal 
"product development". We are not writing production code here. We feel that we 
have a lot of uncertainness about the technical consequences of using the ZF in 
OXID shop. Therefore we are doing a spike solution. Tomas will be doing that. 
We have also decided to make this an 'public' experiment. The svn will be 
readable for all. 

What's a spike solution ? see http://www.extremeprogramming.org/rules/spike.html

In short: Quick try out to test feasibility. It's not meant to be production 
code!

Tomas already answered concerning the templates. But let me add to it that 
using ZF does not mean we must use everything ZF has. ZF is a component 
library. We can pick and choose what we want.

Everyone who is interested please do look in the svn and tell here in the 
mailing list what you think of this. If you have ideas or suggestions what to 
use of ZF and where in the shop, pls also communicate that here.

Experiences gained from the spike solution will help us to make a decision _if_ 
we want to incorporate ZF. And which part of ZF we want to start using.

Personally I think it doesn't make sense to rewrite the shop completely new on 
top of ZF. There a many advantages for using ZF. But as many shop owners 
already stated correctly in the OXID forums, a complete rewrite will have many 
grave disadvantages as well. There are many modules out there. That's why I 
currently think that only a gradual incorporation into the shop and a smooth 
transition can be a possibility. That is, if we decide to go that way :-)

Regards, 

Erik

Thanks for your oppinion. Just to make sure one of our goals with the 
integration is to assure that all old templates and modules would work without 
any changes. Minimal thing what we can do is just to include ZF as a useful lib 
for developers. But lets see to what extend we can do this.
