CodeIgniter 3.0 Roadmap

[eluser]Jonathon Hill[/eluser]
I for one much prefer Composer over Sparks. I wish the community had standardized around Composer and Packagist instead of rolling yet another repository and installer. The PHP community needs more interoperability, not less, but I digress.

If you want to use Composer, check out this installer which provides better support for CodeIgniter packages (including sparks) than the official composer/installers package:

compwright/codeigniter-installers

I am currently working on a way to have Composer install packages from getsparks.org without having to define your own custom repository to bridge the two together.
