that's the kind of analysis that really helps to build new things! i 
especially like the "not everything should be OO", and "RoR isn't the best 
possible thing".  if we focus too much on the good points, we end up redoing 
their work.

right now the Kepler packages are getting readied for a new release, and is a 
good time to discuss about new architectures.  most of the manpower is going 
to CGILua and the new Orbit framework; but Xavante is also getting a big 
remodularization.

i've recently realized that my argument of "don't 'design' a website, program 
it!" could be rephrased with the MVC buzzwords to make it more attractive... i 
just have to learn the correct buzzwords ;-)
