Yep, but IMHO it's also one of its main 'bugs' in the sense of lacking its image. Web designer, Photoshoppers and every "allrounder" in small to mid-sized web companies gets an order from his chief "Here you are, we have to do 'dynamic' web sites. Make this with PHP." - although the photoshopper doesn't know how to program at all. So we see questions arising on the mailing lists and newsgroups regarding "How do I print something on my web site with PHP?". And because these people seem to be the majority in these mailing lists (not only mailing lists especially for PHP but for "internet working" in general), most suits and other mailing list subscribers think "Oh what the hell, PHP is only suitable for small applications like guest books". Of course one can prove and promote the opposite by providing advanced tutorials etc., but this is IMHO like grist for the mill. I don't have a solution at all and for now, but that's only what I could observe in the last year(s). Regarding the roadmap: I think a "roadmap" like "Expect new features A, B, C and D in the next three months stable working" (as already mentioned) would be a great advance. Something which canalizes the work. Just my 0,02 EUR, Björn. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
