I'm sorry - I didn't realise "ha ha ha you're stealing our ideas, you
are so far behind, we so rock you suck" (to paraphrase) was asking
about collaboration. Besides I didn't ban you - somebody else did. As
patient as I am, sometimes I get fed up with the snide remarks from
catalyst evangelists. My bad. Won't happen again.

They share common problem spaces, both use perl Apache/CGI hooks,
CDBI, Template as the most common setup.

Maypole is already using attributes, using an attribute of the same
name in a consistant manner just makes sense. No point in
re-implementing stuff differently for the sake of it.

Cool. There are differences in philosophy and approach. A useful
explaination of the differenes would be really nice but I haven't seen
one yet.

Like I said, I think there is room for cooperation and collaboration.
