MVC_design_plan

This page is for developers (and others) to discuss and plan the eventual migration to an Model-View-Controller or template based architecture.

Obviously, such a change will require a drastic overhaul of the core code, so this is currently a long-term plan. Suggestions and discussion are welcome.

Framework requirements:

• Developers skills & interest into particular framework.
• License compatibility of the framework with phpMyAdmin's license.
• Features of the framework and ease to use it.
• How active are the developers of the framework?

Possible frameworks:

Name	License	Developer experience	Comments
ZendFramework	New BSD	Hugues	Probably too heavy for our use.
Laravel	MIT License
CakePHP	MIT License		Slow
Codeigniter	MIT License		Uncertain future.
Symfony	MIT License
Yii	New BSD
