What I meant is that the PHP Group is maybe not the right solution for
what's happening today. Some of its members are barely active and we could
benefit a lot of having more people involved. I know some of the PHP
developers feel left out and don't understand what the PHP Group does. I
don't think adding another X members to the PHP Group will solve this.
Rather maybe splitting it up and not having once central place of X elite
people might be a better idea. As what it does is mainly administrative
work and coordination we could split this up to working groups. It doesn't
mean you have to be on those mailing lists but as it is now I think it
might be a good idea to split the PHP Group into different working groups.
For example, system, web site, development.
You wouldn't have to be on the mailing list unless you'd be on one of the
working groups.
