The Simplicity PHP Framework is a brand new application framework and development environment comprising a solid MVC OO framework with a powerful web-based application administration and development interface. I have been working on this project for the best part of 3 years and it is now nearly ready for it's first initial release. What I really need now is to get the code out there and have people play with it look at it, prod it and poke it till it breaks in all ways it could break.One interesting thing about this framework that sets it apart from the others, is its tight integration with Ext. As the Ajaxian site eloquently states:
One important piece is the Ajax admin console, developed in Ext that allows a developer will be able to configure all aspects of their application via the Ajax interface, this includes database modeling and the creation of stub controllers, and even the addition of predefined actions to speed up development.If you're interested in taking a look at this project, you can find the project details at Launchpad. Looks like they're also looking for developers to help test and contribute to the project, which you can learn more about at the Simplicty site as well.
