1. The main issue is that the clause for representatives from the PHP community was never fleshed out. In particular: - Which frameworks, cms, tools, etc qualify and what constitutes a lead developer? - How will those with php.net choose these representatives? If it's by vote, what is the required participation and minimum percentage of "yes" votes required?
2. It's pretty easy to get a PHP.net account, by the way. I think this is partly why nobody has cared enough to deal with the politics of this; if the member wants to vote they can get an account through the quite low bar of contributing a few improvements to our docs or website. To help expedite the process, I recommend visiting the PHP chat room on StackOverflow where quite a few people with internals knowledge (and importantly, can merge contributions) hang out. If you want to hack on the PHP.net website, I can show you plenty of warts that need cleaned up; just ask. 3. Lastly and off topic, I want more contributors to internals or extensions. Having had to deal with the guts and semantics of the language helps people understand all sorts of details that are important that regular PHP users don't understand. I'm not against having voters who aren't skilled in internals; it's just that the balance already seems off to me. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
