Zend Framework Project Lead Matthew Weier O'Phinney presented a working draft of Zend Framework 2 Coding Standards. Here are some outlines from this draft document according the changes we will have comparing to Zend Framework 1.x : For any custom piece of code you should utilise a separate PHP namespace.

As a part of MVC Zend Framework component development there was a Service Locator and Dependency Injection mechanism proposed that will define the way different framework components will be referenced between each other, gain access to the resources and services they need. Feel free to participate in discussions.

If you have a brilliant idea about the component, that should be a part of Zend Framework, you can create a proposal for that. After successful discussion and community prove - your proposal can be accepted for implementation. Zend Framework is a community driven project and people (that has signed CLA) can contribute their ideas. Sometimes developers ask "how to prepare a documentation

Matthew Weier O'Phinney published Zend Form 2.0 proposal more than a year ago, but only right now it is the time to start an active discussion about this component. The main changes that are outlined in current proposal are:  Model-related logic and View-related logic should be separated, so we should have two layers: business (filtering, validation) and presentation (elements rendering,

Benjamin Eberlei - the maintainer of jQuery component for Zend Framework 1.0 discontinues his maintenance of this component for Zend Framework 2.0 "2 years ago I was pretty sure of the Dojo and jQuery components/integration into ZF. I have since changed my mind radically. I do maintained the jQuery component but I would suggest to drop it for 2.0..." - he said. The main reasons are: It takes

Just found a very interesting link on Twitter from Matthew Weier O'Phinney about on how to contribute to Zend Framework. He describes all the bureaucratic procedures in order to start contributing.

Wanted to outline a very interesting bug found in Zend_Date component. After settings  the timestamp to -100000000 it changes the timezone. ini_set('date.timezone', 'UTC'); $date = new Zend_Date(); $date->setTimezone('Europe/Berlin'); $date->set(-100000000); So you will receive: Zend_Date Object ( [_locale:private] => de [_fractional:private] => 0 [_precision:private] => 3 [

See Zend Framework 2 documentation proposal submitted by Matthew Weier O'Phinney, that describes the drawbacks of old documentation system and provides some interesting thoughts on resolving mentioned issues. The main point is to standardise the typical documentation section for each component like: Overivew, Quick Start, Configuration Options, Available Methods, Examples. This will indicate for
