Introduction per website request

The website recommended I introduce myself and my intentions. My name is Kevin Nelson. I've been a hobbyist web developer since 1999, and a professional .NET and PHP developer since about 2003. Honestly, my preferred language is .NET, but PHP saves me money on my servers...there are a few things that I think PHP could improve on, which would be of a great benefit. One of them was already suggested in the wiki: Enums. So, anyway, I'm just interested in seeing what requests are coming through, engage in the discussion on them, and see what might be getting added to PHP in the future. Potentially--once I'm familiar enough with the procedures and am not being redundant--maybe make some requests (if allowed) for things such as Generics, Object Initializers, something along the lines of LINQ, etc., and see if the community is interested. Though, I realize with the nature of PHP, some of those might not even be possible or practical. Not sure which e-mail this is going to say it's from as I normally have gmail send from my domain e-mail. So, anyway, I'm signed up under ffbulk+php@gmail.com. Username: calamus77. Thanks, Kevin
