Just ran across the October framework and watched the demos. Very cool stuff! My concern in using something like October would be having to roll all my own functionality that other frameworks such as Codeigniter provides by default. For example, sessions, cookies, file uploading, encryption, FTP, multiple language support etc. I know October supports modules so would I simply need to roll my own (unless one didnt already exist)?

Seeing as October is built on the Laravel framework, the functionality is already there, it just needs extending via plugins which yourself or others will undoubtedly build over time. There are already a number of high-quality plugins built, and it's only been 2 weeks, so I've no doubt more will come. All the functionality you've mentioned above will most likely be included over time. If you checkout the GitHub Repo you can see all the requests people have placed, and as October is still in Beta, there will be more functionality to the CMS itself added over time also, I've no doubts about that.

The future looks bright for October :)

koryrok You should check out Laravel if you want to use a framework, October is a CMS on top of Laravel.

Laravel is a really well constructed modern replacement for CodeIgniter.

I see. So basically October can do everything that Laravel can do but you would first have to create an October specific plugin which basically imports or injects the functionality. If so that works for me. Haven't used PHP much since my Codeigniter days but have heard lots of good things about Laravel.

You can also technically still use laravel based bundles as October plugins, just need to change the namespaces etc - I've converted 2 that work, so they can be used ;)
