I think that's silly. We should just have php@lists.php.net, and php-dev@lists.php.net, with php3@lists.php.net simply being transitioned over to the new name. (At the very least, don't bother splitting the php-dev list. Just kill php4beta.) Yeah, I agree with that, except it would be good to keep the php3 and php4 users separate for a while. There is going to be a whole whack of "this doesn't work" sort of messages for the early php4 releases and having them mixed in with the daily php3 flood is going to be overwhelming. But perhaps that's what you were suggesting. Keep PHP3 people on php3@ for now and create php@ for PHP4 issues and transition the PHP3 people to the php@ list when most of the php4 growing pains have dissipated.

We think that's a good idea. We need to have PHP 4.0 initially separated so that we can handle the bug reports/queries more efficiently. It's also generally a good idea to lose the version number. Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> ICQ: 1568297
