I suggest that the quest for "doing it right" really does not have that much to do with "Catalyst." It's just a framework ... a very well thought-out framework. Look carefully at this framework as illustrated by its examples, then look thoroughly and completely at what you intend to do, and then try your best to express what you intend to do in terms of this framework. If your overall design is solid, then this framework may well prove to be an advantageous way to express that solid design. But if it not, then no framework at all can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.
