  Let me start off by saying it's been quite a few years since I had either the time or inclination to either code or Zikula, so this may seem a little dated to you regulars, but since I now have the time and inclination(read: motivation), I've been forced to proclaim, Hallelujah!
  
  

  Code

  $apiObj = new mymodule_Api_User();

  
  
  Really? God bless!
  
  Maybe an obvious or simple example of how simple and intuitive the extension plugin system has become, but wow does that ever make things a lot more real than previous code structures.
  
  Again in case you missed it: Developers, thank you!
  
  

  Code

  $this->registerStatus($this->__('Thanks! Can't wait to see the structure fully functional'));

  Hey ya!
  Nice to see you again ^^
  
  I guess that instanciating a module API class is not the ideal here BTW :P
  You should use the convention like:
  

  Code

  ModUtil::apiFunc('Module', 'type', 'func', $args);

  
  For utility methods, we're using static methods directly, like:
  

  Code

  ModName_Util::execUtilityTask();

  
  The code is quite sexy already with OOP
  I hope to see your later impressions
  
  Greetings and Merry Xmas!

  You may get module controller/api class instanced by calling:
  

  Code

  $test = ModUtil::getObject('Module_Api_Type');
  $test->someDummyMethod();

  LOL thanks to both of you.
  @ Mateo - Yes I understand it's an awkward instancing but it is handy from the immediate controller. I'm just glad the system has matured enough to be able to build upon it's sexy OOP.
  @ Jusuff - Thanks, I had found that in testing, but again not entirely ideal for most module setups.
  
  I found that:
  

  Code

  notMyModule_Api_Type::func()

  
  also works quite fine though.
  
  As for my later impressions... still more wow.
