I'd love something like that (if it exists ;-). Name doesn't really matter, but if it has "power" in it, it can even be dangerous to the official PHP ;-) I guess 100% compatibility is a must... but I guess performance/stability issues are inevitable. I think maintaining this kind of thing isn't at all troublesome, most of the stuff will be handled by CVS although we may get some conflict at times... To accept a patch, just wrap them around #ifdef's, make appropriate configure entries... then "publish"... (is it this easy?) keeping up with the latest PHP might be an issue, so I guess it might be more feasible to just merge with point releases only... (?) Well, Firefox has greasemonkey.... we'll have powermonkey [sort of] ;-) -- Hendy Irawan http://www.gauldong.net http://dev.gauldong.net
