I like Zack's text. Here are a few things that we might want to add: 1. Go for "Open Source" instead of just open-source. PHP's license definitely fits OSI's nine requirements. 2. I like using the word "premier" to describe PHP, like "PHP is the premier server-side scripting language." It's a fancy way of saying "number one". 3. It might be nice to work in that PHP is the most popular apache module, and the most popular app server. Leon --- Leon Atkinson, Chief Technologist, Clear Ink Corporation
