Yeah, as the OP, I was a little worried that after a couple days of looking around for a starter "skeleton" site that I just really was missing something that was obvious to everyone.

I too watched the Zend Framework video demonstrations, and was probably like a 1,000 other developers out there typing along code as I watched the video. I though it was silly that the videos weren't accompanied by a small tar.gz of the basic site to get you started, and many of the tutorials, even the php|architect had no associated code download along with it!

There are probably five or six very worthwhile "getting started with Zend Framework" yet none of them that I've found come with anything resembling a solid skeleton site to get you started.

Would be very nice to include a sample fully featured basic website along with the ZF download that showed all of the functions of the ZF in an actual use-case scenario. Even with the bootstrap file, I've seen probably a dozen different ones that I admire, but no "best of" that is a solid comprehensive effort.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer the question...
