Hi @all!
After a small discussion with Sebastian K., some questions occured to me.
Should the template system be really an extra package? Or later on a
standalone product?
Wouldn't it be better if it's "just" a Component of the FLOW3 package?
IMO the template-system shall provide a easy and fast way to transform a
model (Homepage, News, Blog, ...) into a nice view/output (html, xml,
rss, file) configurable with some TS or whatever. So an integration
could enforce FLOW3.
-- Might be the most often used scenario for FLOW3 Model2View
Basically, you for a package you have some view some options
(FLOW3CGL/Testing: select a packag), which the controller must handle.
Afterwards, the a view of the report-model is embedded in the view. So,
the controller just needs to send the model to the view for displaying
report.
So, you need a class-model and Beer3-XML-view, which must be autoloaded
by some function.

If there is a further standalone product it will degrade the advantages
of FLOW3:
- Why shall I use FLOW3, if I can just use the template-system?
Shouldn't it be like:
- If you want to use a really cool template-system, use FLOW3!
I know everybody is very ethusiastic about a standalone template-system,
but all dis- and advantages should be discussed.
Just my 2 cents to think about ;)
Cheers,
Malte
