And it's a great port : it respects<BR/>the phylosophy and the features without perverting anything.<BR/>More ! Akelos added many great features of his own that feat gracefully<BR/>with the whole (the multilingual feature and view Sintags are so great<BR/>and easy to use...).<BR/>Akelos rely heavily on conventions and that remove all the overwhelmingness<BR/>of the framework : it's easy and intuitive.<BR/><BR/>Really, you should try it.<BR/><BR/>To start, you can look at :<BR/>- The screencast that cover the basic features of the framework : http://www.akelos.org/screencasts<BR/>- The README.txt in the Akelos archive (zip or svn) : http://www.akelos.org/download<BR/>- Some basics : http://wiki.akelos.org/tip-sheet-for-beginners<BR/>- To try and get started : http://wiki.akelos.org/gettingstarted<BR/>- The small tutorial (that is going to grow) : http://www.akelos.org/docs/tutorials/booklink<BR/>- <BR/><BR/>To learn more :<BR/>- Some documentation wich have to be completed : http://wiki.akelos.org<BR/>- Classes doc to learn about all the powerfull methods : http://www.akelos.org/xref <BR/>- The forum to grow the community : http://forum.akelos.org (very responsive community, despite it is small)<BR/>- The plugins repository (that has to grow) : http://wiki.akelos.org/plugins<BR/><BR/>Please forgive my unperfect english and be sure of my sincerity ; I'm not member<BR/>of the Akelos team or anything, I'm just an exultant Akelos user.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Best regards.<BR/>--<BR/>merindolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
