Re: Moderate PHP-DEV

This worries me somewhat. I do not have a CVS account. I do not actively develop and contribute to the PHP sourcecode right now, however my company uses php very very much. I would like to keep up to date on what is happening with the development team and figuring out what directions they are leaning and why. And if I want to contribute code down the road, I would like to be able to. So, I don't have a cvs account right now, and I don't need one, but if it were required to be on the list, then I would not be able to be on the list. I'd appreciate not having that requirement myself. Wes On Wednesday, March 12, 2003, at 01:53 PM, Marcus Börger wrote:

A couple thoughts.... Aside from renaming the php-dev list, we should remove the 'PHP and Zend Engine internals lists' from the regular mailing list page, put them in a 'developers' section (name isn't important) that describes cvs access, dev email lists, how to build (ie. win32 libraries), etc.

I guess this is the solution!

Then another item that might be considered if it is not already done, allowing posts only from those that have cvs access.

Hm, i don't know. I for one directly contacted rasmus as he was the developer mentioned in the sources in which i found and corrected errors when i started working here. However i guess not all of us started this way, did we?

A second conditional list of allowed posters can be added that are people who do not have cvs access, but we want to allow to post.

That would be a minimum requirenment....

Otherwise, the list can be readable by all.

Dito.

A post rejected message could tell them to try a different email list, but if they really feel the email is for the dev list

I already did this proposal but it was declined...

, send it to xyz@php.net and it will be reviewed by someone when they get the time.

Round robin list? Everyone in php-dev has to take care for some days? regards marcus -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
