phpGolem v0.4

- About
Golem is a web framework that implements in its core some functions
to grant flexibility and fast development.

The main features are:
* Authentication system: golem implements a functional user and groups
management system. The needed fields are limited to the essential
features. Any additional function can be extended easily.
* Extensions system: in order to increase flexibility golem relies
on a well structured extensions system. Each extension can use every
golem core function and also every other extensions class.
The extensions are structured in classes in order to increase security
and to make the usage easier for the developers.
* Template system: the engine output is generated upon a specified
template, completely separated from the codebase. The engine has been
designed to be at the same time simple and flexible, that’s a tradeoff
by design.

Golem isn’t more than this but at the same time is more than just this.
The extensions designed to work over phpGolem extends these core
functions in every possible direction.

Other features:
* Free layout: unlike many content managers or site handlers (phpNuke
anyone?) golem hasn’t an imposed site scheme. This maybe makes a bit
more difficult the first setup, but allows complete freedom to the
web developer.
* Multisite: the core and the official extensions of phpGolem are
designed to make possible the installation of multiple websites on a
single database.
* Easy deployment: this is a final target of golem, but even now every
extension is a matter of a file copy and a admin activation. Having
the files in the extensions folder, you can enable them with just one
click. Okay: two if a setup is needed.

As the creator, I could tell you that even I think that the engine (phpGolem Framework and CMS) has many advantages over some other famous CMS, still it lacks the most important thing: a community. For an open source project, this is a huge problem.

I’ve used successfully in many project, starting from my former work at Mnetwork.it, through my blog (Intense Minimalism), arriving to a website of an italian company (GetSolution).

Now, lacking userbase I had put on hold the project and I’m working on some other ideas.
