[Solar-talk] Presenting Lux

[Rodrigo Moraes]

Hey,
Some time ago, Antti and I moved some of our classes (from Abovo, Halo
and Tipos) to a new common project. So here I am to present the newest
repository of Solar classes, Lux:

   http://code.google.com/p/lux/

Lux is more a repository of libraries, while in Abovo and Tipos we
will focus on specific apps. Currently Lux classes are:

   Lux_Access_Adapter_Sql
   Lux_Color
   Lux_Controller_Router + Route classes
   Lux_Event_Handler + Event Loader
   Lux_Filesystem + Filesystem_Upload
   Lux_Growl + Log adapter
   Lux_Image + GD adapter

...and a bunch of view helpers:

   Lux_View_Helper_Cycle
   Lux_View_Helper_ListAction
   Lux_View_Helper_ListAlphabet
   Lux_View_Helper_ListBase
   Lux_View_Helper_ListNav
   Lux_View_Helper_Pager
   Lux_View_Helper_RouteUri

And, well, everybody is welcome to contribute to Lux. :)

Note that we started a library for image manipulations, currently very
simple - only a GD adapter and a "resize" manipulation plugin. This is
the new kid on the block, the others were all mentioned before, I
think. The image library is waiting for more functionalities, and they
will come when they're needed.

cheers,
rodrigo
