  * [[http://symfony2bundles.org/|Symfony2 Bundles]]: Symfony2Bundles is a spontaneous community initiative! Its purpose is to help us to find the best Bundles. Symfony2Bundles inspects Bundles and give them an internal ranking, based on GitHub followers and forks, the frequency of the commits, the quality of documentation and tests, and more to come. These criterions are mixed up and result in an internal rank we use to highlight the best Bundles.

===== Tips =====

==== DI/IoC ====

Dependency Injection / Inversion of control

It will be nice to get local or remote (SOA) intanciation of injected services, like within Spring Framework.
