Django-like PHP framework

I've been working on this off and on for a little while, and it's matured to the point where I've posted it for public consumption (under a Creative Commons license; see LICENSE.html or the link in README.textile).

Protoman on github

There's a good deal of fun code in there; the only bit that probably needs a lot of help as it stands is db/Saveable.php, which came from a previous project and will benefit from some review and refactoring. The poor thing has been gutted pretty badly and had a lot of its functionality moved to other (now cleaner) classes.

Points of interest:
Main (front) controller class
Definition of basic data types

Examples:
Entry point (settings definition)
URL definition
Reusable blog app

What kind of critique are you looking for?

Well, any suggestions, really; there's a list of incomplete and pending features, so any opinions on how they'd best be implemented, particularly if people have interface preferences based on existing, similar software.

Also, efficiency suggestions would be excellent. The dev challenge I suggested would be a good example; if people are interested in how things are done in this project (URL routing, template inheritance, query generation, etc.), it could be educational for everyone to discuss potentially better ways to handle them.

It's an open-source project, so community input is important. :)
