This could help standardize the approach and quality of coding for such extensions. Nice idea. My original suggestion was concerned with the issue of providing one-stop shopping for *existing* PHP extension modules for people who are tying to install PHP, with notes about the platform(s) supported and other installation requiements; I'm grateful that Sterling Hughes agrees and is willing to take such a project on!
