Re: [PP-dev] ProjectPier Rewrite Proposal

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:52:19 -0700

I'd just like to clarify on what I said yesterday - What I meant to say was that I don't think CodeIgniter is suitable for this project without a lot of modifications. 
Also, I realised that this -
I also don't think we should use CodeIgniter because EE will be using 
it.
may sound ambiguous.  What I meant was, I don't think we should use CodeIgniter "because EE 2.0 uses it", imo we should make PP a standalone app.

Today I've been looking at the CodeIgniter & Kohana source code in more depth, and I've realised it's going to take a heck of a lot of time just to get to where these frameworks are now.  It may be a better idea to use an existing framework after all.

What's wrong with CI for PP? It's a solid actively developed MVC framework. What are your reservations?

He's set a lot of good targets in that email, however I feel that it
might be easier for us to rewrite the core and complete the targets as
we go along instead of hacking the current core.

@George, I think it'd be better if we made our own framework for PP,
instead of marketing it as a 'CodeIgniter based app / EE addon'.
CodeIgniter is a good framework, however it's not really suitable for PP
imo.

I'm sure that everyone who uses PP agrees with you on this point.

The main aim of the rewrite would be to refactor and improve the
codebase, as well as including some needed / highly requested features

It would be crazy if an upgrade path for the 0.8.* version was not
created :P

ultra boring rubbish - which you've been suckered into reading :P
