Is there going to be an IRC channel? I’d love to have somewhere to talk theory and design!

I propose full replace existing validation syntax. Many items – it’s bad.

I rewrite previous example to next:

static $validates = array(
‘title’ => ‘with:”^[a-zW]*$”, blank:1, len:1-5, exclude: “blah,alpha,bravo”, within: “tragedy of dubya,sharks wit laserz”, null: 1′,
‘column2′ => ‘len: 10-50′
);

P.S. Please see next propositions, and if you have – contact with me by email.

With activerecord and convention over configuration you do not have to manage mapping files or use any code generators. Few lines of code and bam you can do pretty much all the typical operations you need.

It’s essentially the same thing but its supported by a huge community.

and I’d like to see who has an order with what company. How many payments have been made and who they went to… etc…

Nice work, interesting to see how the new PHP5 namepaces look (a bit grim)

Would love to help out with development and testing. Possibly building a wrapper class for integration into the Zend Framework.
