I would not say that 'telling' people is the way to go. We need
leadership, and someone to sell the vision of 'better life with
PHP' to people.

Agreed. But there are positive sides to Open Source: there are
thousands of developers out there. Chances are, no matter where you
decide to take PHP, someone will want to go there.
I like working on my own, for example, but I have decided to
put my efforts into PEAR because that will benefit the community
more then releasing 'yet another ACME PHP libary' to satisfy
my ego.
