Cinge : PHP Application Framework

Cinge is a next generation framework forked from CodeIgniter. It's based on roughly the same principles, but done in a few different ways:

• Be as unobtrusive as possible - let the developer write code, and generally just get out of the way
• Not worry so much about PHP4 compatibility - this is a framework more for writing hosted applications, we're not as concerned with PHP4 compatibility (for now) in order to make programs that can be installed by users still running old PHP.
• Reuse mature code where possible - instead of rewriting inferior database libraries etc, we use other projects (eg, adodb, PEAR) to provide some libraries?.
• Cater more towards real web applications than blogs. This means allowing modules, defining a more formal model structure, and not including as many extraneous libraries in the core.
• Provide actual open source development - other developers are encouraged to submit patches to the bug tracker and will be given SVN accounts if they're interested
