Interoperability
20
Any third party code can be used as a library.
21
Libraries are managed by the lithium\core\Libraries class, which handles auto-loading, service location, and introspecting available classes. PSR-0 compatible.
https://github.com/UnionOfRAD/lithium/blob/master/core/Libraries.php
22
Security
23
Lithium provides basic functionality for user authentication, data sanitization, filtering input/escaping output and CSRF protection. Form signing is in testing.

Documentation
25
Documentation:- Are there articles/tutorials on using it?- Can I understand the code?- Is there information on contributing?
26
Documentation (end user):- http://lithify.me/docs/tutorial- http://github.com/UnionOfRAD/lithium.wiki- http://lithium101.resources- http://lithify.me/docs/manual/quickstart
27
Documentation (in code):
For example, in Libraries.php, roughly 42% of the lines of code are comments.
Not just what, but how and why.
