As expert php developer for 7 years, I think there is a place for anoter ORM library for php. Few suggestions & tips for good ORM library: You must create new website with online documentation and examples Try to create easy associations like laravel do with magic vars and not : $model->relation()->find_many() just $model->relation Supply easy events on model class support multi database connections (think even about mongodb) Implement option for query scopes (nested) Dynamic getters/setters for model attributes Good luck.
