I've long had the same question. Not that I think I've earned such honor, believe me, but if you have a running commercial concern (i.e. web app) yet have never open-sourced your application code, can you ever be considered to have a "project"? Are there set boundaries for this? Thinking of Facebook, HipHop was obviously a huge donation on the OSS side, but what if Sara (and whoever else) weren't there? Does Facebook itself as an 800-pound PHP-based gorilla qualify as a project even if if it never open-sourced anything? Or would the worldwide PHP-based brand be like 99% of the way there, but they'd still need a non-frivolous OSS project? On the flip, several small-adoption, high-quality, stable OSS frameworks are out there that I think show great loyalty to PHP as a language (Konstrukt is one). But when do they become "projects" as such? Seriously curious. Having a "karma-certified" project might be an exciting carrot for people. -- S. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
