Re: Content of this list???

Personally I think php-dev is the right forum for discussing any C level development, both extension module development and PHP core development (which is pretty much the same). The reason we aren't sending bug reports to a php-bugs mailing list is because the people who can fix bugs are usually on the php-dev mailing list and if we'd create a separate mailing list for them it would probably lead to only a small amount of people subscribing to the bugs mailing list and slow down bug fixing in PHP which I think is a bad thing. If someone is REALLY irritated by the bug reports they can filter it out but as a general rule I really prefer the C developers who know PHP development, both if it's core development or extension development to take time once in a while and take a look at incoming bug reports. This is why I really think having a separate forum for just extension development is not the right way to go because extension development is probably the most important development going on in PHP today and it should be discussed on the php-dev mailing list. You can't do much with PHP if it doesn't have extensions. If most people disagree with me we could host a separate mailing list but try and think if it's worth it. I personally think it would be a loss for PHP. Andi At 11:40 AM 9/28/00 +0000, Garret Thomson wrote:

There is always a chance! ;) I've recieved a few replies already to the effect that some people would be interested in such a thing. I guess the question is, might the php team wish to provide such a forum or will we have to find another spot on the web to call home? I'll let this sit for a day or two .. if the php team isn't keen on providing such an arena, then theres no reason why we can't set up some bullitin board somewhere. Hell, I'll even host it on my own domain if I can ;) Again, to clarify, this is for people who wish to discuss their experiences/problems/questions about extending php out the back via its C module API. I'd be happy to spearhead this initiative and see that it gets done. Garret Marc Boeren wrote: Hi!

Maybe this is because there is no clear community of support for

people who want to use

the extensibility of php /w C as middleware, glueing front ends to

backends? Anyhow, I may

be wrong .. is there already another list that facilitates dicussion

of the type I'm

referring to?

And if there isn't, any chance of starting one?
