Project Description

The framework is split into four main modules named after the four 'elements'.

This framework has four components:

• fireUI
  The front end library with advanced javascript interactivity and pre-rendering composition help.
• earthDispatch
  The centre of the application is the application dispatch module. This routes controllers and provides access to all libraries.
• waterBase
  The database abstraction layer/ORM.
• windSure
  Quality assurance library. All testing, reporting, security and validation libraries lie here.
• Leeloo
  Extensions - A fifth element.

Status/Roadmap

Arcane is just a baby, it's status can be described as fledgling. Technically it could be described as version 0.2, but thats only because it had a false start (albeit an educational false start).

As far as a roadmap goes:

Version Number	Goal	Status
0.2.0	Starting the project	DONE
0.3.0	Completion of the initial front end library (fireUI)	IN PROGRESS
0.4.0	Completion of core application logic (EarthDispatch)	PLANNING
