How much work would it be to move Koha to the Catalyst framework? Kyle
Only a complete rewrite. The work we are doing with Plack and Starman will give us a persistent environment, that will, in all likelihood outperform any framework unless it was also running under Plack. Back to DBIx::Class, I have no plans to use it for anything other than schema abstraction for 3.4. April 22 isn't far away. However if someone sends in patches for a module that uses DBIx::Class and we don't take a big performance hit, (and it passes QA and the rest of the tests) it would go in. Small steps, we have a 6 month release, getting Template::Toolkit, Schema abstraction, C4/Search fixes, all the RFC in is going to be enough. Lets work on small manageable improvements. Anyone who wanted to work on finding the circular object references we have, and breaking them would move us a lot closer to being able to run the whole of Koha under a persistent tool. Currently people are testing with the Opac, and circulation, with good results. Chris

My experience is that the startup overhead introduced by DBIx::Class is not sufficiently offset by its caching features in a CGI environment. Running under Plack or something similar would easily recoup that overhead, of course.
Yes, this is the solution. We need in 2010 a persistent environment to execute Koha in: an execution environment, in which they are application-level, session and page objects Memcaching everything isn't the solution. -- Frederic
