It's all been very ad-hoc so far. Rasmus handles the money, and gives it out when someone comes up with a reasonable expense (examples being some books for Andi and Zeev, Visual C++ 6 for Shane, and probably some other things). We are looking at turning this over to someone like the Apache Software Foundation, however, because this opens up Rasmus (and probably others) to some tax liabilities. Oh, and the official page with information about funding is at http://www.php.net/funding.php3, but I think the address may be out of date. > Is the "PHP Development Effort" in need to banwidth or servers? Is > there a page somewhere with a wish list of needs? We're certainly not lacking for bandwidth or servers at this point. When you have a tool that ISPs like, they trip over each other giving you things. :) VA Linux also recently donated an impressive server that will be powering www.php.net soon. Jim
