Limb3 2007.3

Limb is an OpenSource PHP framework aimed for rapid web application development.
We are committed proponents of beautiful and easy-to-maintain code that simply works. That is why we develop and constantly refactor Limb code in a test driven manner using the best agile development practices.
The latest version of framework is Limb3 which consists of many reusable components distributed as packages on Limb3 PEAR channel.
The previous version Limb2 is a PHP4 compatible framework for building web sites with rich and easy-to-update content. In acknowledgement of the original approach in 2004 Limb2 got the 3d place in Zend Contest. However nowadays Limb2 development is almost frozen since the core dev. team is mostly focused on Limb3. Someday Limb2 will be a simply package of the more general Limb3 framework.
