Well, bcz of domain squatters, I already submitted my registration for
phpqat.org...so if no one minds, I will just point it at qa.php.net, until
we (meaning the majority of the most vocal participants =) decide for
something else...it makes it so that "guesses" still get people to the
right place.
I agree, qa.php.net should be the place people are sent.
And fear not...I am still in awe of Rasmus, Andi, Zeev, et. al., so I
won't be doing anything to spite them. =)
