Hi,

I was just a bit curious since the project I recently started is huge and highly modular with the modules communicating to each other.  I was looking into some MVC frameworks - Zend.com, phpro.org, PureMVC.org -  to help speed up the project and its future expandability.   After perusing some of the codes, Zend seems a bit bloated for me even though it already has a lot of good features built-in and doesn't seem to support modules and the inter-communcation.  Phpro is very straight forward and very light while it doesn't seem to be able to support a highly sophisticated application with a lot of modules and the communication between them.  PureMVC concept is awesome but there isn't an official release to support multiple modules (or cores) and their inter-communication.  So I ported the standard to multicore but still need to see how the modules inter-communication work.  I guess I'll have to dig up some more on the net for examples of the multicore.  I haven't yet looked at the other frameworks, such as CakePHP, symfony, etc.  Another plus to PureMVC is that it is language agnostic design, which I can later easily port my application to another language should the need arise.

Thanks,
Tommy
