Here are some suggestions for the next release:
1. As few databases as possible - as many as necessary.
Other things on my wishlist so that I would consider to use Dolphin:
2. clean up the file structure so that it is better to find the files
to modify..there is too many directories and too many files.
Keep it simple! Maybe even use CakePHP or a similiar structure of the project.
3. COMPLETELY remove PHP and logic from the templates. Templates should
be stupid HTML templates and modules - and give the necessary
flexibility. Only this way it can be quickly and easily customized.
COMPLETELY remove all HTML from the PHP classes.
4. When you think you are done with 1, look again and then look at the
execution time and CPU usage as well as open file handlers...and memory
usage of ithe scripts. This should be optimized at much as possible.
