Ok now this gets interesting... My perception of Farcry is one of a good CMS that is extensible.
What those 'extensions' are is irrelevant. Farcry dictates how I hook up that functionality. What it doesn't do is dictate how I write that code. I am happy to consider Farcry a Content Management Framework and because it is good enough, it enables people to write shops/hello world solutions. BUT this is something all good CMS' do. It's not new. Some just make it f'n easier than others. Clients never want a vanilla solution. However if you are saying Farcry is a framework, within which we created a CMS application, then let's take this further. As far as I understand it, the way you extend Farcry is through includes. Frameworks can and do dictate the way you go about designing (OO etc) and developing code, as well as the way the various parts of your system communicate. This really needs to be discussed down the pub. :) Anybody coming to Bath UK soon? I could rabit on, but basically a CMS would be written in a framework, the CMS would not be the framework.
