about
@emitter is a flexible PHP5 based web content publishing framework developed over the course of the past year out of frustration with existing (PHP based) solutions, but also to learn some server side ninja skills and further explore XML technologies.
Parts of the development of the project so far have been funded as a commission by Stanza for the recently completed restructuring of the Soundtoys.net website backend, although the majority of the work has been done independently in my spare time and in conjuction with other projects.
Currently used for a number of commercial and artistic projects, the codebase is now undergoing its move to the next milestone before it'll be released under the LGPL license in the coming months (Q2/2006).
