OK...I have an existing php webapp called HistCosmos -- History of the World.

HistCosmos queries a MySQL database of 720+ Historical events of 30 different types (so far). This app is my site's most popular feature, so i want to continue to improve it. In it's current state nearly everything is on one PHP/HTML page, and updating the code is already starting to become annoying.

I want to use this app as a test of the Zend Frameworks. If all goes well, I'm going to create another app with ZF.

At this point in development I'm engaged in two operations:

1) looking for a more sophisticated set of form elements/controls. I've reviewed ExtJS and qooxdoo, and am experimenting with Backbase Community Edition. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

2) adapting the current app to the MVC paradigm.

At this point I need some feedback on my new design; I welcome any and all criticism...I want to make sure my design is sound before I start coding.

*******************Start - HistCosmos MVC Design*******************
Web App: Dot Net History
Purpose: to present a Bible-centered view of history

Framework: Zend Framework (ZF)

MODELS (Model Platform: MySQL):
EVENT (BibleYear, Gregorian Year, Event Type, Event Location, Event Description, Source Link[http])

USER (for security/ACL, and only for admin tasks)


VIEWS:
EVENTS (All by default)

SEARCH (Results)

SUGGESTIONS (data entry on clone db)

ADMIN (Login, Edit/Delete[main db], Approve Suggestions[Move from clone db to main db])


CONTROLLERS::ACTIONS:
IndexController(
IndexController::indexAction[All Records]
IndexController::searchAction[show search all search results]
)
SuggestController(
SuggestController::indexAction[Add a suggested event]
SuggestController::verifyAction[Suggestion was added to clone db]
)

ErrorController::errSearchAction
ErrorController::errSuggestAction
ErrorController::errAdminLoginAction
ErrorController::errAdminEditAction
ErrorController::errAdminDelAction
ErrorController::errAdminApproveAction
