Learning from Python: PEPping the PHP Development Process

At last weekend's EuroFoo [1] I attended Marc-Andre Lemburg's talk [2] on the Python development process. I really wish we had a process similar to Python's PEPs [3] [4] for PHP. Having guidelines for issues like adding a new module [5] or deprecating a module [6] not only makes the development consistent but also transparent to our users. Wishfully thinking, Sebastian (who knows that it might not be his place to call for a change

           like this given that he is not a core developer)
