would like to use an open-source mvc framework that is used widely, has strong 
community support, and several modules that may be used for current and future 
development rather than develop or use a custom or less widely used mvc 
framework

the code will be dependent on some type of mvc framework - either custom, less 
or widely used

not sure, but the gwtoolset will be used on a wikimedia labs instance, not on a 
wikimedia server. the gwtoolset will have a browser ui that allows glams to 
upload their metadata, match it to mediawiki templates and then upload the 
result to commons.wikimedia.org using the mediawiki api
