Hi there, First off I'd like to apologise for being a generally useless and overly reactive poster on this list. I'm going to exercise more self-constraint now after noticing I made more posts on this list this month than anyone else, this month. Anyway, onto the subject of this email, in which I will try to be at least somewhat helpful. I notice that the RFCs page (http://wiki.php.net/rfc) doesn't seem to have any clear instructions on how to create an RFC. I think someone (perhaps me) should write an RFC on how to write an RFC, and also the procedure involved, e.g. how to get wiki karma, voting process. Secondly, I noticed that Python's PEPs are numbered, unlike PHP's RFCs. Whilst they aren't quite the same thing, I wonder if this would be useful, particularly since it provides a simple and unambiguous way to refer to one, e.g. RFC 123 instead of "RFC on how to write an RFC". Plus it would provide for an obvious way to sort RFCs in a list, by number. At the moment I'm not really sure if there's an sort of sorting on the RFCs page, although RFCs certainly seem to be categorised. Thoughts? Apologies again, Andrew Faulds http://ajf.me/
