OO

I'm a bit late in getting this out, but such is life when moving and attending a wedding. :-)

We had a good Core Conversation on Butler in Chicago. Sadly Dries ended up not being able to attend, but just about everyone else was on board with the roadmap. The roadmap itself hasn't changed much since Copenhagen, but things are moving again. There was also considerable talk of very, very interesting tie-ins to the configuration/deployment core initiatives, as having a more robust pre-database configuration option should help resolve a lot of the challenges we were looking at.

Slides from the presentation are attached below.

Hi,

Recently I switched from joomla to Drupal. As an OO-lover, I do miss the OO-concept in Drupal. I loved it in Joomla, but there it was really complicated and it was a hell of job to find something.

Since the scripting of Drupal is not so complicated, why not port it to OO? Let's find a compromise between the java-way of OO and a less complicated way of OO. More flat.
I have seen what is said about Drupal NOT even thinking of translating to OO. But there are also people who would really like to see an OO version of Drupal.
