You're making the assumption that we've dismissed the idea. :) I'd love to see such an effort. However, my team is very small, and we simply don't have the time to do such a thing -- which means it needs to come from the community. If a group of community folks is willing to build something, and do so in the open, with open specifications, we'll gladly help popularize it. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | [email protected] Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc -- List: [email protected] Info: http://framework.zend.com/archives Unsubscribe: [email protected]
