What is LIMB?

LIMB was initially designed as a PHP Content Management Framework around brilliant WACT template subsystem for rapid development of Content Management Systems with nice GUI but gradually became much more than that. Today we have 2 different versions of LIMB being actively developed: 2.x and 3.x.

LIMB 2.x is a PHP4 compatible framework for building web sites with rich and easy-to-update content. In acknowledgement of the original approach in 2004 LIMB 2.x got the 3d place in Zend Contest.

LIMB 3.x is a more general PHP5 only web application framework developed using the best TDD practices(with SimpleTest) and distributed via PEAR channel. Someday good'n'old 2.x version will become simply a package of the LIMB 3.x.

Forum and wiki have been moved into sub-domains

You have probably noted that wiki and forum have been moved into sub-domains: wiki.limb-project.com and forum.limb-project.com respectively. This should allow us to spread the load among different servers in the future.

Old forum and wiki links should work just fine via Apache mod_rewrite module, so we hope you won't have any broken links issues.

New version of limb-project.com

We are about to release the new redesigned version of limb-project.com which will be based on Limb3 framework. We are also going to move limb-project.com to the new server that is why there can be some DNS issues.

You can preview the new version of limb-project.com at new.limb-project.com address for now. The old(current) version of the site will be available for some time at old.limb-project.com.

The new version of limb-project.com will be placed into Limb repository as an example Limb3 based project.

Happy New 2007 Year!!!

It's 2007! Fill your heart with new hopes, reach out for new opportunities and celebrate the New Year! Cheers!

The previous 2006 year was really full of exciting events for the core dev.team:

Firstly we finally managed to launch the Limb 3.x PEAR channel. We have high hopes for Limb 3.x and all our future efforts will be mainly focused on further development and improvement of Limb 3.x packages. We're pushing the PHP's limits with Limb 3.x and prove that PHP still can be a powerfull RAD tool despite to much PHP criticizing lately.

Secondly we released Limb 2.4-rc1 stable release(well, almost stable since it's a release candidate) after more than one year of silence in this branch. We hope to release 2.4 final pretty soon and even though many developers still find 2.x attractive we'd like to admit that there won't be much development in this branch in the future. The code base of 2.x is pretty outdated and sometimes ugly, that's why we want to convert 2.x into 3.x package as soon as possible.
