For example php/doc-fr could have a completely different place to sponsor, rather than the 'PHP Foundation', to avoid burdening the 'PHP Foundation' with managing doc-fr finances.

PHP has always been rubbish at: * long term support of versions. * long term support of tools e.g. is PEAR/PECL dead or not? bugs.php.net * having enough contributors to the docs and extensions. Pointing to how things have been done in the past is a less strong argument than you might think. cheers Dan Ack
