I am very happy that the mailing-list tab on the PHP main web site doesn't include it yet. I'd prefer only people who are active in the developer's community (i.e. php-dev, php-qa) to be part it.
Was there ever a discussion of introducing a more formal
organisation into the development process (I might have missed
it, having actively followed php-dev for one year only)?
Something along these lines:
http://httpd.apache.org/dev/guidelines.html
I think that a few rules would benefit the PHP community,
and allow us to spend the resources we have more wisely.
Bye,
Ivan
