Can you explain your position more here, what exactly is your concern (if I captured it in my previous email -- why do you think I'm off base to say we're over-estimating the importance)? > Admittedly, the docs team is very under-resourced right now and even the reference section has > not-small holes, making maintaining even more types of documentation a potential challenge. > That's something the Foundation could possibly help with. But that's not the topic at > hand: The topic at hand is just "look, we should be able to mention Composer, Xdebug, and > PHPUnit, OK?" On which I very much am in agreement. That's not the topic at hand -- the topic at hand is adopting the principle that: "The web and documentation projects within the PHP Project can use or document the existence of third-party PHP projects as part of their roles in supporting the overall PHP community. Such use does not represent endorsement of those third-party projects by the PHP Project." So that would include frameworks, etc. alongside composer, phpunit, etc.
