I totally understand your view on how such discussions go. However it was (for what I read) about technical issues and the tones were correct, could have been more diplomatic but that's fine imho. I am not sure how to solve this problem as we have to discuss things deeply and be sure that active core developers actually understand all the impact of a given proposal will have, that's a must. I am also relatively happy with the situation compared to other projects (try to do it on the kernel mailing list f.e.) while we have to put more efforts to be contributors friendly, like on the cairo project (best ever). Sadly Anthony took this whole thing way too personally and is leaving php.net, I'm not sure it is a definitive choice but it is a bad move, in many ways and for both php.net and himself. It is very common that not everyone agree with a proposal, or do not see the needs of it, trying to understand its impact or the reasoning behind it. If everyone begins to leave as soon as it happens, OSS would die, right now. Conclusion: We are a tech group, keep that in mind :) Cheers. -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
