Going Laravel? #73

Closed orelby closed 11 years ago

Is there any chance you'll agree to go Laravel and refactor? I'm willing to do the work myself, in fact. P.S. If so, let's wait until L4 is released as stable. Shouldn't take long now.

I've been thinking more about symphony, although there would be no much difference. Actually we can start working with laravel the current version. By the time we are done , the release would probably happen.

All right then. How do you want us to do this? I'll open a new branch, and then start on my own? Or we could design some interfaces and such first... P.S. We need to make some decisions, like whether to use Eloquent ORM or not...

I'm gonna start working on the DB tomorrow (I'll try to make some time for it). After that I'll redesign the system on paper, starting from the views. (But only on paper; I'm not really gonna write all that code on this stage.)

Before you do that, in the long term I'm planning to change the structure of the website a lil bit and expand it to be multi-technology oriented site with personal blogs and hubs. For a long time I've been considering using Symfony CMF for the task, although it's far from production ready state, but would be a good place to contribute back to the community also.

I'm not exactly sure yet how do I see the future structure and changes, thus doing anything right now is a bit useless. I will have to think about it this weekend and update you on the changes.

Well, I've thought about it and decided there are no benefits from rewriting the web site in another framework or language, neither from the user perspective, nor from the open source side. Neither the end user's will gain anything from this change, nor the developers community will.

If you want to practice some laravel development I encourage you to participate in other open source projects. If you want to improve the current website - feel free to do so using the existing technologies. Knowing more then one tool is always a good thing.
