Greetings!
The Zend Framework team has undergone some internal reorganization
recently which will have some bearing on the project.
First, the team now reports to Zeev Suraski, Zend's CTO. Please
welcome
him to the lists!
Additionally, Wil Sinclair is ending his tenure as the Zend Framework
team leader. During his time as project lead, Zend Framework has made
tremendous progress in becoming the de-facto standard for PHP
development, with several significant achievements:
* The 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 releases, as well as the recent 1.8 preview
release
* Helped support and build partnerships with the Dojo Foundation,
Adobe, and others
* Introduction of agile methodologies to the ZF team
* Usage of social networking media as an additional support vector
I'd like to thank Wil for his contributions to the Zend Framework
project!
Finally, I am pleased to announce my own promotion to the position of
Project Lead. I have worked with Andi and Zeev in recent weeks to
define
how I will approach this role, and have emphasized during that time
the
need to address and respond to community concerns.
Following the 1.8 release, the team will be focussing on items such as
whiddling down the bug backlog, improving documentation, and writing
tutorials. Additionally, we will be outlining and scoping upcoming
releases in order to publish a public roadmap for the project. Part of
this effort will include some work to make the proposal process easier
and more transparent. The hope is that having published milestones
will
help focus user contributions, both in terms of new features and
stabilizing the framework.
I look forward to working with each and every one of you, and welcome
your feedback!
