PHP gurus litterate on Comp Sci and software engineering and
architecture? I think this has been done before and most who stay and contribute over time have come here by their own means.
By the way, even if it is not to work on a particular features, maybe call for more help on maintenance? +1.

I agree, I really think that if PHP had a clear vision it would attract scientists and engineers. I know C, I rarely get time to do much open source these days, however, if I was excited by a clear and exciting road map I'd be more inclined to make time for PHP rather than attempt to get to grips with things like WebKit internals, which seem much more appealing and certainly have a clear and exciting future. Contributing to PHP internals does not look totally appealing at this point and kudos to those that give up their time to do so. Sam
