So should PHP-internals want other people than the current usual suspects (that only a limited number of people by now know of) to help managing the infrastructure it would be great when they'd at least signal a "thanks, offer noted, we might come back to you". Even better with actually getting back… But as it is currently the chances are that we will have to live with a messy list-server and over time probably move somewhere else for discussions as the old system becomes more and more unreliable… Just my (frustrated) 0.02€ Cheers Andreas > > Eli > > PS.
