Version 0.5 of PHP Topic Maps engine QuaaxTM has been released yesterday after 0.5a1 has been out for a while. Compared to 0.5a1 engine specific configuration has been separated from basic PHPTMAPI configuration (inspired by Lars Heuer; thanks again). QuaaxTM implements PHPTMAPI 2.0.
See http://phptmapi.sourceforge.net/ for more information.
If you are looking for alternatives to huge clumsy MVC frameworks like symfony or CakePHP you definitely should have a look at http://rad-dev.org/lithium (Cake people will meet old friends). Bonbon: Lithium ships with adapters to CouchDB and MongoDB.
The TMAPI project has finally released TMAPI 2.0, the de facto standard Topic Maps API for Java. It is the result of several years of development and another impressive demonstration of non profit, outside standards body community potential. Great work, guys (and very special thanks to Lars)!
