Well, I think we need to at least talk about the fact that you changed the
logo.
Could we add a blurb to the introduction, or maybe to the new features
section. Something like:
All the features and modules from PHP3 are being carried forward into
PHP4 and the goal is to make the transition from version 3 to 4 as
painless as possible.
Also, you have a typo in the incompatibilities section. "compatibility"
should be "compatible". "blazing fast" also sounds odd. For it to be
grammatically correct I think that should be "blazingly fast".
And how about making a php4@lists.php.net mailing list once and for all
instead of php4beta and having to transition people later?
And at some point someone is going to have to publically defend the fact
that PHP will no longer be an opensource project as per normal definitions
of opensource projects. Debian will not be able to ship PHP4, for
example, since they are very picky about stuff like this. Hopefully
RedHat won't follow Debian like they did initially with KDE.
