[TYPO3-ect] ORM for lib/div

[Daniel Brüßler]

Hey Alexey,

how did you make this, that you created such a nice topic in the wiki
and I didn't see it? ;-)

You have a chance with this, when it's connected to the topics and
categories what are affected. I add it as a ECT-subproject. I tag propel
and the others as "other framework".

We have another comparison-page with "other frameworks". See here:
http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/MVC_Framework/Features_of_other_Frameworks

kind regards
Daniel
