Mike,
Yes. I am not suggesting that everyone
use XML. I think the simple PHP template approach is fine for most of the
content. However, in some cases WTP has used XML to represent structured
data and if we can use PHP to suck in the XML data and transform it via
XSLT then we'll have an easy migration. I don't want to have to set up
relational databases for all data. It's very simple to edit a few XML data
files and then regenerate some Web pages from that.

You mean something like http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/tutorial-wong3.php
?
Thanks for the info, but I hope
you understand that with so many projects using so many difference techniqes
for their web content that we had to come up with something that we think
will work for everyone.

FYI,
WTP uses XML for content and XSLT for styling, not PHP. I believe PHP can
apply XSLT, correct?

Phoenix Meeting minutes - Sept 2/2005 11:00am
1. Phoenix will no longer rely on a Content Management System (CMS)
The CMS' we tried either didn't have the flexibility we think our
projects require or would have required a serious resource investment in
customizing them to meet the requirements
The agreed alternative is to use the tools our projects are already
using for website development: Eclipse and PHP plugins, and CVS.
In order to achieve the Phoenix goals, a series of Cascading Stylesheets
will be used and PHP templates will be created to aid in migrating
pages. The PHP tempate will be responsible for setting up common page
elements, such as a top banner, menubars, navigation sections, all
without the help of carefully crafted CSS (no html tables or frames).
However, this methodology makes hierarchical navigation difficult to
achieve (i.e., collapsing, tree-based nav bar, or breadcrumbs)
2. Theme/Template selection
The new Eclipse theme (skin) will be selected Wednesday, at 8:00am
Eastern by examining the Bugzilla votes for the (currently) three
templates. Anyone wishing to create new templates is encouraged to
do
so by following the guidelines at
http://www.eclipse.org/phoenix/whatsnew/looking_for_templates.html
3. Three action items have been defined as blocking the current progress
of Phoenix:
- Creation of positional and visual CSS (Denis with web designers)
- Documentation of Eclipse environment setup for authoring pages (Mike)
- Documentation of Commit process to connect to CVS, checkin and
checkout pages (Denis)
4. Tagging
The project members agreed that tagging was an feature worth looking into
5. Denis to open a Bug for stylesheet requirements for projects
If I've left something out....
