Reactor Engineers

Vheissu we have been talking on UserVoice and I have already explained to you half of these points.

1. "Aren’t a couple of people on the Reactor development team also contributors to the FuelPHP framework"

Nope, just me.

2. "yet they proclaim they don’t know how to do it in CI yet."

Of course we could roll FuelPHP's Auth system or Kohana's Auth system. Why aren't we? Because it would go against the CodeIgniter principles of simplicity and a low barrier to entry. I love the auth system in Fuel but it is bloody complicated for new users and would be REALLY out of place.

And for the record I would love to contribute to Reactor, but I don’t get the feeling that Reactor is as community oriented as it proclaims to be.

We talked about Ion Auth and we have all agreed it is not powerful or flexible enough. You said you wanted to create a fork of Ion Auth and I told you to go for it. Please do! If it fits the bill then it will be merged, if it does not we will provide feedback until it does meet the standard.

If we did not scrutinize then you guys would complain that we just let any old code in. I have had to recode some of my own libraries to get them anywhere near close and still none of them are 100% ready ;-)

I’m totally disappointed with the lack of insight you all have. You have implemented a few lame and worthless changes to CI

We are all agreed (Reactor Engineers and EllisLab) that for now the changes would not be huge. Nobody came into this wanting or expecting to re-develop the entire framework and lets be honest, if we did people would go nuts!

Slow change for now, more awesome coming soon. We can't rush anything and we are all doing this in our spare time. If you guys want to contribute then go ahead. I'll be bloody glad to see anyone contributing code to the core. The Engineers are here to help facilitate that.
