Roadmap?

Hi Last month, I mentioned about adding multi-byte support to PHP3. Well, I'm pretty much done. (It's more like cleaned up patches that we already have with few additions which makes it more useable for many people) Although PHP4 is coming out pretty soon, I still wanted to have stable Japanese support for PHP3, so I just went ahead and got most of them done now. I hope to have it beta tested by few people then release it to the public very soon. Is it okay to release it as separate Japanese version? (at least for PHP3) Now, I'm in middle of considering what to do after that. As Zeev mentioned, PHP4 will be out in mid 1999, that means, we (Japanese developers) should put more effort on more general i18n (internationalization) on PHP4 then on PHP3. So, how's the roadmap look like now? Is PHP3 development pretty much frozen now except for bug fixes? About when can I see the engine layout for PHP4? I truely belive i18n is very important part of any software and I would love to contribute as much effort as possible. But, without any insights on future, I can't make up solid decision yet. At the sametime, knowing where it's going, I can make the current Japanese support much better for the future. Can anyone give me some ideas on this? Thanks in advance, and thanks for all the great works!
