Rewrite required?

If I may be so bold, this article would benefit from a total rewrite; in its current form the article provides little information and, I suspect, this contributes to the discussion on specific framework articles, for example Ruby on Rails, where people are seeking information on the facilities/technologies of these frameworks.

By bolstering the generic information provided here, we can remove some of the replication across the specific framework articles, allowing them to focus on the notable aspects of that framework.

How about a structure along the following lines (forgive the working titles, but you get the idea, I hope)?

  1. Introduction
  2. History
  3. Architectures
    1. MVC
  4. Features
    1. Database access and mapping
    2. Templating
  5. Implementation
    1. Languages
    2. OS
  6. References/See Also/External Links/etc.

I think this would be a great idea, and would like to help out fill in areas. I was starting up Comparison of web application frameworks and I think it should closely follow the ideas on this page.

One additional feature I think we should draw attention to is Ajax. I think it's also important to compare/contrast web application frameworks with similar ideas such as Solution stacks as well as CMSes.

I don't see any objections do re-writing the article, so I think starting and posting the re-write sooner will get more casual editors to contribute sooner.
