The base class of Orbit42.com (now considered stable) is an opensource (free) project released with the hope that others would benifit from a class that contians the basics already. The Object Oriented project is hosted by sourceforge.net.
Such basics include iterative functions (allowing each parent in the chain to contribute without the need for complex namespace), debugging and error messenging system (from 1.1) and a callback manager (allows easy plugin structure).
The aim is to create a system that makes good use of the best design patterns an easier thing to create.
It also supports simple abstraction to datalayer (this is MySQL by default). There is now a second version in development.
