Artisan System is a new object oriented PHP5 framework with most of the features you’d expect from a framework (database abstraction, MVC, etc). The main purpose of Artisan is to be an e-commerce/event management framework. The project is very well documented and included so far some good tutorials for classes such the Log , Database, Registry, and Value Objects. Current stable version is the 0.2, many features are under development for 0.3 that you may find in the project roadmap. Artisan System is available under a zlib/libpng License.
