It is exciting even if the  
Zend_Coding_Made_So_Easy_I_Cant_Believe_Its_Not_Butter class will have to 
wait until version 1.1. Has there been any news on that one?

For me, the MVC code is the single most toughest thing to grip on. I find the 
general library so damn easy it's a delight.

Perhaps the MVC will in fact going to become the jewel in the crown for ZF in 
time  with careful maturation. I love the importance given to decoupling and 
the release that this gives me from that  "lock in feeling" experienced on so 
many otherwise worthy frameworks elsewhere. As I experience it, ZF is truly a 
library first that almost magically  forms an elegant  framework by innate 
design.

Surely the big trick to the MVC should be conventions? You want flexibility? 
It's there. You want to see MVC intelligence, follow the conventions and it 
will do the heavy lifting for you. I think the growth in default conventions 
within the MVC is crucial to keeping it user friendly for noobs like me. I'm 
particularly lookiing forward to the View side to developing more and a 
universal "Zend Framework Official Demo" steadily refocusing on best 
practices and real world concerns.

Thank you for ZF. I'm still a noob but  hope to contirbute.

Regards,
Mark Maynereid
