What are the challenges for DOCman 2.0?

150 Feature requests for DOCmanMost of them are very specific to one single use case

http://ideas.joomlatools.eu/pages/docman

The real problem is extensibility

Architecture First!

• Rapid Application Development platform, similar concepts as CakePHP, Ruby on Rails, Symphony, Zend

• Sits alongside the Joomla Framework, installs as a plugin

• Extensions built on Nooku get code reusability and extensibility out of the box

f r a m ewo r k

Benefits:

Nooku Framework dramatically reduces the amount of code in an extension

Shorter development time

Less bugs

Less security vulnerabilities

Easier to understand, easier to extend
