Hi monks,

As for me, there is a big problem with Catalyst and DBIx::Class — I don't like 'em. They are bulky, they rely on ugly and Pythonesque (G-d forbid!) __PACKAGE__ statements, they don't give reasonable defaults, etc etc. OK, maybe it's just me.

Anyway, there _is_ a web framework that I really like and consider it a touch of pure genius. It's called Everything Engine and yes, it is the very framework Perlmonks is running at. The problem with Everything Engine is that it's a little outdated (last updated in 2002? Or 2003? Can't remember now). Now in a world of mod_perl2, I'd really like to see something modern in Everything's spirit. Some time ago, I even put HTML::Mason templates inside the ecore (this code is now lost), and extracted and rewrote ecore's persistence stuff in a separated module dealing with plain objects, not nodes (this code is still alive, but it's MySQL only, cannot handle complex relationships and now I know the mighty Moose which could do better — though this code could load methods right from database and bind them to objects and do lots of other ecore's wizardry).

Anyway. I've heard that there is a project: complete rewrite of Everything Engine. Does anyone know if it's still alive? If it is, tell me the name and take me as a developer. If it isn't, I'll seek volunteers to get started. I'd enjoy the new Everything.
