I'm a web developer located in Asheville, NC, specializing in web applications using PHP and MySQL. From large to small, I've developed them all.
So, the company I work with has contacted the original Picora developer. He's no longer maintaining the project. He's agreed for us to take over that role; we'll be managing picora.org. Hopefully we'll be posting out the source code and some documentation soon.
I've been playing with a framework called Picora for over a year now. You can download it at http://picora.org/. Don't expect support or documentation though. The project is basically dead at this point. I'm still playing with it because I love it. Picora is a PHP5 MVC framework that is very lightweight. The author did a good job developing the basic MCV functionality; its performs well and is relatively easy to use once you get over the learning curve. Don't get the wrong idea; Picora is not a brand new idea, just a well implemented port.
One thing missing from Picora is scaffolding. Scaffolding lets you add/edit/delete objects in the database without having to code the controllers and views. I decided to implement scaffolding for Picora. Its pretty simplistic at this point, but it does work. All you have to do is create a model and the framework will do the rest.
Update: Sorry, I can't have this code out there for download anymore. We are going to be running the new picora.org site and we will have downloads available there soon.
