It’s very cool the idea of a ligthweight framework, I’m working on my own lightweight framework (http://code.google.com/p/pk-framework) and I have 2 objetives:
- Build a lightweight framework with the most common features for small projects
- Easy to learn and fast to deploy a webproject
I think you need to put more code in your files so you can have less files. Write a plugin system to personalize some of the features of your framework, so the end user developer that use this will no need to modifi your framework.

Careful in your comparison of CoughPHP, an ORM, to a full framework. pk-framework would be better compared to LightVC (no models), or LightVC+CoughPHP (with models).
Some things to note, however, are:
- LightVC and CoughPHP follow best practices, use OOP, are PHP5 strict compatible, notice free, etc. pk-framework has some work to do in this regard.
- CoughPHP provides the ability to insert an extension class to the two core classes, CoughObject and CoughCollection, providing more customization opportunities than a plugin system.
- The current state of pk-framework’s trunk does not even work.
- pk-framework has already strayed from the objective of being a lightweight framework. There is a lot of fluff, e.g. the assumptions about the data model, the PHP4 compatibility, etc. It may be time to re-evaluate the objectives.
