Hi all. I'm cross-posting this message b/c I think this should interest all parties.
I'm a long time Turbine user, from the time Jason (jvn) and John worked on the project. Turbine is the first web framework I started to work with and Avalon was my first IOC container. Don't get me wrong, I admire your work, but I decided to write something in parallel. I have two projects on the works: GuarĂ¡ (guara-framework.sf.net) : which is a web framework inspired by Turbine. GuarĂ¡ borrows lots of ideas from Turbine, but enhances it in many ways. Xingu (xingu.sf.net) : which is a component repository that hosts Pulga, a tiny Avalon container (16k). Handles the Avalon lifecycle, assuming the component is thread-safe and has only 2 dependencies. I'm writing this message to you b/c I think we could merge our work and come up with something that is better for all of us. My motivations are simple: 1) Simplicity. Clean and small code, reduced number of dependencies, always write automated tests, promote code reuse. 2) Release often. The release cycle has to be shorter than usual. I started my work simply because I think Turbine and all Avalon containers were lacking this two objectives. What do you think?
