RE: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Release Process

Just a thought from a non-dev Rules/policies/procedures/process should always be written down or recorded somewhere, otherwise how do you know what they are? and how do you make sure changes to those rules are known about? Having a central place that every can reference (wiki) makes a ton of sense. This doesn't mean they have to be inflexible. Flexibility is down to how those rules etc are written. this is fairly basic service management sort of stuff. (No i am not proposing bringing in ITIL/CMMI would be sensible) By having this sort of stuff in the wiki, you are making it easier for new people to get up to speed and reduce the arguments over what the agreed method of doing X is.
