Mike Kimsal. I recognize that name. I once took on some contract work to modernize a web app for a manufacturing ocompany.

It was PHP work. And they had it built on a framework I'd never heard of called logicrate iirc. It was kinda a steaming pile man :) I mean, it just didn't age well, I'm sure. Over the last decade some awesome PHP frameworks were written that didn't exist, i'm guessing, when you wrote that.

It was started in 2000. I wouldn't say it was a 'steaming pile', but obviously I'm a bit biased. MVC structure, user mgt, automatic login/registration, database abstraction, a rudimentary ORM (very rudimentary), user groups, permissioning from a control panel that was able to be hooked in to from administrative modules. The closest thing around with any degree of flexibility at the time was phpnuke when lc was started.

It hasn't been worked on since 2003 - one of the original people behind it started cognifty.com several years ago.
