Christophe Herreman has done some awesome stuff and I know Aral is working on ARP3 too so I think if we can all get on the same page and really document the design (I plan on doing UML diagrams) we should have a very rich but lightweight MVC to work with. I've implemented 7 project with ARP and found it very flexibile. The main issue I have right now is how the the views get updated by the model as in the existing ARP the command objects update the views which can get messy and is not typesafe, Christophe and Aral have both been looking at the model locator strategy and I'm anxious to see the end results.
I'll try and clean up the asset manager soon and see if its something the ARP community can use.
