As far as I know yahoo bookmark (with 20M users) and the new version of deli.cio.us are developed based on symfony, though they have customized it.
In regard to your concern, I don't agree; That's actually why people choose frameworks instead of CMS to be able to customize it to any level that they want. I myself have developed rather large websites that needed optimizations and were able to easily optimize the # of queries and basically remove any redundant ones. Regarding symfony's website, I don't see much downtime but I doubt if it is a symfony issue. At the meantime you better have a local copy of askeet tutorial or symfony's book on your computer. Hope that helps. cheers, --Mohammad On Thu, May 1, 2008 at 5:25 PM, Tom Haskins-Vaughan < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can't speak for the problms with the web hosting, but in the meantime > have you tried looking at Google's cached version of the Askeet tutorial? > > Daevid Vincent wrote: > > I'm new to symphony (but a guru at PHP) and this is my "frist post". > > I've been taking the tutorial off and on since 04/21 (between reading > > the paper book I purchased and doing my other job duties), and in that > > time, I've been frustrated by the number of times the > > http://www.symfony-project.org/ site has been down.
