I doubt it will be fully integrated into WordPress, more like an extension you can do funky stuff with. If WordPress had a proper plugin model rather than the hack they've got now, you *could* replace certain parts of WordPress with it, but alas will probably be limited to what you hack with it yourself or incorporate through other plugins. And since I've decided not to go with WordPress I doubt I'll spend much time on this. :)Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613480150660825848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249867.post-64052807561659707252009-06-09T07:06:30.724+10:002009-06-09T07:06:30.724+10:00The main problem with WordPress is probably that i...The main problem with WordPress is probably that it was not designed as a framework, but as a simple blogging tool. And, as you point out, after several years of messyness and I'd guess more than one cook, it ended up as a simple CMS ... without going through a re-design phase. <br /><br />WordPress certainly didn't become popular due to it's architecture, but the people that made it obviously knew how important it is to create the best possible user experience. In my opinion, Wordpress is the best blogging software to date -- because it is so elegantly simple and easy to use. Anyone can set it up and start blogging (provided you have access to a *MySQL* database :D).<br /><br />You're really creating a TM engine for WordPress? Wow. Fully integrated?!

And the whole XML pipeline architecture is so wonderfully strictly restrictive that it automatically rules out the ability to build many kinds of rubbish system on it. The thing with Cocoon is that the framework was designed with architectural principles front and center. It didn't just "accrete" organically from bits and pieces.Conhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16641887728601115959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7249867.post-15903295566505648722009-06-04T22:11:13.693+10:002009-06-04T22:11:13.693+10:00I don't like crappy php code, either.
