What about moving the project over to the PHP framework Laravel ?

It has most of the things listed above by default 👍

[cydrobolt]

@kfrankperson Mostly for performance issues. We're aiming to be minimalist, and Laravel brings a ton of baggage we don't want. It also breaks compatibility for shared hosting, and increases the amount of work to get working.

Most good hosts now support composer, and if you build it right all you would need to do is SSH into the box, Composer install it and then do a installer via the web like you already have.

There's some much of the code that you guys need that has already been done and looked at by thousands of people in the Laravel project, and i used daily. Looking at all the issues for the project currently most are by default in Laravel

There installer is soooo simple and easy ( Apart from the assets stuff which does make it complex but personally I wouldn't do that, get to complex fast )

[cydrobolt]

Yeah, I understand that some hosts support composer, but we don't need the whole Laravel package. It is really bulky and transferring to it would break our philosophy of minimalism.

[cydrobolt]

Right now, the project structure is certainly not the greatest. There'll be a lot of revamp to do.

@cydrobolt you don't need to switch to Laravel for that. Why don't you use Silex or only some Symfony component?

Nowadays raw php project slow down contributor because it's always hard to understand a new project which follow ideas (structure, convention, etc ..) of one developper. Using a framework (even a minimalist one) will ease that point.

It will also simplify test integration and avoid regression, etc ..

You could even use Lumen - http://lumen.laravel.com/

@kfrankperson @j0k3r
Sounds like a great idea. I'll take a look at both of them and see if I can integrate those

What is the projected release date for polr 2.0?

[cydrobolt]

@WikiCopter I don't think we have a projected release date yet. It's a big transition, and we hope to integrate some framework or figure out a way to integrate all of our changes into the app without adding in any frameworks.

Hopefully we can do this quickly, despite PHP's imposed difficulty on refactoring large amounts of legacy/different code. 😄
