Thank you for inviting me.

My technical focus is primary on:

• data/DB/core logic
• clean code/maintainability
• NOT frontend/css/js outside the obsession for usability 8-)

I will do my best to help with these.

About 2 years ago I started using atk for quick backoffice GUIs. I was always looking for a solution in PHP where I can write the GUI like a code. where I can write view + controller at one place. I would probably give up as the atk data model is still unmature and it simply can not keep with ORMs like Doctrine for larger projects, I also like the data mapper + UoW approach more. But then I have written a very simple but extremely powerfull persistence layer to do all modelling/updates/integrity thru Doctrine and atk is started to rock!

The current largest issue I see is maintainability/refactorability (currently there is almost any - no properties for fields, almost no types in UI) and a little bit too much of freedom (like when UI component can be defined as a seed or as an object). Thank you for the will to work on this together!
