Utopia is a framework for building websites. This codebase is legacy PHP which is no longer used. It was originally developed in the early 2000s when I was bout 15. It serves as an interesting reference point for the development of the current Utopia project.
Utopia was versioned almost from the first version with loadable modules. The idea was to have a shared area with versioned dependencies (similar to how gems work). Websites could load the required modules dynamically.
Utopia was designed using an XML-like template system. The core view was represented as a node, and named tags could include other nodes. This was a little bit similar to ColdFusion at the time. Because of the recursive lookup of nodes, it was easy to keep theme/layout separate from specific view/controller logic.
