Hi internals,
I'd like to start a discussion on an RFC proposing a formal policy for
PHP's official social media presence and marketing communications.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/social-media-policy
Policy PR: https://github.com/php/policies/pull/32
The proposal addresses three gaps in current practice:
1. Custodianship of credentials for official accounts is not formally
defined, with no documented succession procedures.
2. There is no documented process for content decisions on official
channels — what gets posted, by whom, and under what authority.
3. There is no framework for deciding which platforms PHP should
maintain presence on, leading to platform-by-platform ad-hoc
decisions.
The policy text itself lives in the php/policies repo (PR linked
above). The wiki RFC is a wrapper proposing its adoption. Inline
comments on specific policy text are welcome on the PR.
The proposal reflects feedback already received on the previous draft.
Further feedback is welcome.
