Phoenix 1.0 - Hackdot

If this framework gets too popular they'll probably rename it to Firebird. Let's just hope there isn't already another open source software called Firebird.

I believe that's the joke! I usually never mind when projects have duplicate names, but c'mon, "Phoenix"?! Zero points for creativity there - I sure wish there were more things in history than rose from the ashes ;)
