Oh, man, do you really do that? That is worse than not mention it at all. You may be joking but not everybody may understand it that way. Doing that you ruining the credibility of those efforts that take PHP far out what originally it was meant for. If you are going to just make it a joke, you'd better not mention it at all. I think that is extremely unfair for people like Andrei and other that worked so much on it! :-(

Uhm, I'm not joking. Richard pointed out to me in a personal letter that anecdote may not be the right word here (thanks, Richard :). I mention them (PHP-GTK, PEAR, etc) at the end of my presentations, as a list of pointers people should look into if they have interest in that particular subject. Manuel, you should *REALLY* relax about this 'Zeev vs. PHP-GTK'. This is absolutely the last time I'm going to say it - I have nothing against PHP-GTK, and Andrei and I work very well together.

So, what? Even if it is like you say, because you have this perception that it is not that way in Europe and far east, you are not going to do anything to help people living in the Americas to make a better case for PHP in the corporate world?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm not going to say what I was saying again, though. Look in my old posts if you're interested... Zeev
