is that I don't want to see php.net turning into a fight between MTA and
S&S, which is clearly happening now. Changing all our links to archives
? I am not 'fighting' against anyone. If you check the mailing list archives (any of them ;-) ), you'll notice not one comment made from me or any of my staff on any of your (S&S) news announcements. On the other hands, there are plenty of comments from S&S folks about virtually every one of our news announcements.
If you are referring to the fact that both our magazines are coming up with new things continuously, then, as far as I'm concerned, that's at most nothing more than competition, which is healty as long as it remains fair. I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to let people know about it through php.net if the community at large benefits from either having a new news resource or a better searchable mailing list archive.
In any case, the proposal is out there. If you (meaning *all* the php.net folks) think it's worth publishing the news and linking the mailing list archives, then we're happy to provide a service.
Cheers,
Marco
