in reply to Maypole or PageKit?

Catalyst, hands down. It's simple, extensible, and just does a lot of the crap for you. The community is amazingly supportive and willing to accept patches. There's good tutorials and documentation writers are welcome. The code is easy to read (for those who like doing that).

And, it's Simon Cozen's choice as successor to Maypole.


My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    As far as I know, Simon still works with Maypole (though he's not the maintainer anymore) and had sharp disagreements with the design of Catalyst. I wouldn't mind seeing his thoughts on Catalyst if he's changed his mind though.

    The community is amazingly supportive because Catalyst, like Maypole, needs a lot of work. Documentation writers are welcome indeed.
      What do you mean with "needs a lot of work"?
      The Framework itself is quite mature, and there is naturally never enough documentation. :)
