Hi, Couple of comments:
>Harvey: Also, I'm guessing the other responses will be along the > lines of "does the world really need another CMS" and "What does this do > that Drupal, Wordpress, Silverstripe etc don't?" > > So give some thought to the answers to those questions. Agree with Harvey thats its a very valuable question to ask. In addition, however consider what sort of frameworks, web applications and software have come onto the block in the last 5 years that "re-invent the wheel", but then are really better solving some very basic problems. CMSs, CRUD frameworks, Online task/project management, time sheets, FTP programs. The latter are a good example. Is the one you're using really the cat's whiskers? Why is not everyone using it. Someone *has* to make something new now and then, if only for the idea to be gobbled up by the major frameworks. Christopher Tombleson: > My main reason for creating a cms framework is because I couldn't find > anything that isn't full of extra stuff I didn't need, what I trying > to do is give people the flexibility that you can't get from some cms > systems. That is a really bad reason, because I believe its a myth that something gets better if you take things out of it. That is only true for things that consist of large amounts of crap. A well thought out framework can have all the extra fluff, while being more scalable, flexible and secure than a simple solution. Keri: > I think that the grammar was intentional, to go with the "Cribz Network" > branding. Agree, its consistent branding. "Four" would have been worse ;) Berend: > Wouldn't it be more helpful to get to know an existing framework > really well, and only then make another one? > > Else it will be the usual stuff from 25 years ago, full of security > holes, missing things that everyone takes for granted, etc. > > Only when you know certain frameworks really well, you know enough to > write something better.

Totally Agree with Robin here from own experience, the only knowledge that understanding a good system completely gives you is that you can solve most problems reasonably well with all major programming frameworks, but you still wouldn't know why and which one to choose.
