One of the most requested features for FLOW3 was: Documentation. The whole team has spent many hours updating and extending existing chapters of our "Definitive Guide". In fact, we postponed the whole release of FLOW3 1.1 mostly because we wanted to fulfill our promise to make documentation an important feature of that new version.
I'd like to highlight two new chapters: First, the whole new HTTP foundation is explained in its own part, including an overview of FLOW3's application flow. The second chapter is probably the most anticipated piece of documentation: the Model View Controller framework. For the first time you get a good overview of FLOW3's MVC mechanism and, since it is by big parts a backport of FLOW3, a lot of this documentation also applies to Extbase.
I'm very interested in your feedback: how do you like the structure of these chapters and the writing style? Do you find information easily and where you expected it?

Awesome.
This is really cool and a big move forward. Thank you so much.

Mario – sorry, but we don't have a search function yet. There's been some work going on on a Solr package for FLOW3, so I'm confident we'll use that at some point. But until now we didn't find the time to do so.

As I am trying to get in touch with Flow3 for a project I still wonder if there is a search function for the documentation or if I am just too blind to find it.

Hi, Robert
I browsed through the documentation and I have to say that I really appreciate the work you and your team have done.
Please keep an eye on long articles. I personally don't have the time to read 12 pages (Part III - Object Framework) in a stride.
I don't know if that would fit your design, but having more sub-pages would, imho, simplify the documentation here. Meaning that you don't have to concentrate on to much at a time. You may be even able to jump over stuff and read it later because you just want to get started with the framework ;)
I don't know how other people think about that, that're just my $0.02
Bye
Simon
