While I can understand the argument, I don't agree with it. It's fine for the main website which is indeed mostly static and could be an actual static website, but I think web-bugs could really benefit from some libraries being used. There's no need for a framework, but libraries are really helpful. And I understand people might say "php.net uses that", but honestly, does anybody use Dokuwiki because we use that for wiki.php.net? We should use whatever works. Quite a lot of libraries / components are well-tested and maintained, I don't see why we should roll our own if we need such functionality. Regards, Niklas
