I hope this is an appropriate destination; if not, I'd
appreciate any pointers elsewhere.
We really need either a new mailing list, or some
clarification on the use of an existing one that
would fit, for people who are working with the
current CVS builds, but who *use* PHP and are
not (generally) developers *of* it. php-general
is too swamped with noise and beginner-level
questions. but the internals list is not really
an appropriate place, mostly, for questions like
"is this *supposed* to be like this? or is it a bug?"
i thought that php-beta would be the best bet,
but the last message there says that php-qa
has replaced it. yet php-qa seems to be mostly
just postings of test results, and really more
for the internal needs of the QA group.
maybe just revive php-beta? but of course,
it only works if the right people are reading
it who can answer the questions. and i know
they are just a little busy right now... :)
i think we do help dig out bugs and find
problem areas. it might especially be useful
for people like the PEAR developers as they
start trying to move their packages to PHP 5.
(presuming they intend to, of course.)
anyways. something to think about, at least.
thanks for your time.
