Framework Web Site Updated
The Lucent Web Framework is above all a fast and lightweight, complete Web framework offering both server-side (PHP 5) and client-side (JavaScript) components to ease in the development and maintenance of today's demanding Web sites.
After much work, the new look of the LW Framework's Web site is finally ready to be seen.
You may not care much about a new look for the Web site, but you may care about the added News section, a developed Road Map, and some updated documentation. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot the most important update, we also have a nice shiny new Download button on the main page.
The groundwork has now been laid for us to really get cracking with the documentation and some examples/articles on what the framework actually is.
Also, as a tease, a new version of the framework will be released soon with many improved features to help speed up development, various bug fixes, and a whole new rewritten Resource component. Once the documentation has been built for it, and some bugs quashed, you'll be able to get to mess around with it. We're excited to see what you think.

Lucent Web Framework Documentation Started
The Lucent Web Framework is a simple to use, lightweight, scalable and fast framework for building PHP5 and JavaScript-enabled sites. It tries to make management of code easy while keeping your sites fast.
As we released the first version of the Lucent Web Framework, we realized that people needed documentation. As such, we have just begun writing in depth documentation for all the components of the framework.
The documentation is in the early stages of development, and as such, it's changing every day. If a component isn't documented, be sure to check back later as things are being added every day.
We hope this helps the developers that are using the framework. If you have any questions or suggestions for the documentation or the code, be sure to post it on the forums. And remember, this is an open source project, so don't be afraid to help out.
To check out the documentation, just go to the projects Web site. It's all there.
