This folder contains a working draft of an extensible dispatcher based on the
modell-view-controller design pattern. 

Further information and manuals can be found in the subfolder "doc".

Well, let me think about it. That's completly bullshit. It should be:

This foler contains Wombat Web Bench - or at least Wombat how far it is.  Wombat
is far from completion and the further it get developed, the more ideas to
expand it pop up... 

Anyway, Wombat is a framework based on many design pattern. Therefore it may be
useeful as an educational example. Still, in the beginning - right after genesis
- the purpose of Wombat was to build a small framwork for my private travel
website gERD Down Under (http://oz.exit0.net). Even if it is a private site, I
choose to steal some ideas from my friends (Stephan and Sebastian), mix them
with my own and voila, this wonderful site was born. OK, the dbeatiful graphics
are made by Sebastian...

At this point, the framework was very simple and named ozController. Actually,
there were only very few features - just what I needed to run my site... Then my
plane took off and I arrived in Australia.

In Down Under I saw, that there is no need to "controll OZ" and I stoped
developing the framework. Actually, I stoped, because it was working and the
beaches were just to nice. 

A few month later - in August 2004 - I joined a webdesign company in Brisbane. I
worked there for about three month. After a while, I remembered the
"ozController" and changed some bits and pieces. The reason was, that I wanted
to show it to my collegues. They should see, that there are alternatives ways of
coding, an abtract and  object oriented way - rather than the top-down way. So,
my laptop and I spend heaps of time on the balcony to proof me right! (Or the
other way around: to proof them wrong.)
