WHAT DIGITALUS FRAMEWORK IS ALL ABOUT

As I got started conceptualizing Digitalus 2 it became clear that the Zend Framework had evolved a great deal since building the 1.x release. It now offers a great deal of the functionality that is required for a CMS, but this is often confused by the mountains of configuration options. So before I could really get into building Digitalus 2 I need to try out the new tools and figure out what works for Digitalus.

After tooling around for a bit (and some advice from core ZF developers) I decided to build a CMS framework that aims squarely at the 80% side of the 80/20 rule. The whole thing will be built on ZF, and stock ZF components will be used whenever they make sense. Digitalus will build on to this base creating default components that you can use with little or no programming.
