Reflecting and documenting MediaCommMVC development

I released version 0.3 of MediaCommMVC some days ago. Technically it's still alpha, but I've got an small instance running for some time without major problems. I was looking forward to get 0.3 done. Not really because of it's features (I just added html5 videos and some smaller features) but because I get to start rewriting everything for 0.4.

The reason for starting the blog is to force myself to reflect on what and how I'm rewriting it and to document it. Maybe I should start with reflecting on the why:

• Because I can and its fun ;)
• Switch to mvc 3 and razor
• The architecture got a bit ugly. In the beginning it was simple and clean but now there's to much logic leaking into the controllers and repositories. I hope a service layer and view models can help to get it clean again.
• The design was built around Multiflex which is a real pain as it overrides the styling all possible html elements. I'm really bad as a designer so I'll try to come up with a very simple layout and jQuery UI themes

Not that much after all, but enough for me.
