'The PHP Group' does not control the vision for what will go into php version x. people actually willing to pitch in and do the work do. 'The PHP Group' has absolutely zero leverage to get anybody to do any work. i think people who think that 'The PHP Group' is some grand leadership council that is plotting the technical direction of the php project would be sorely disappointed if they were to read all of the mail traded over [EMAIL PROTECTED] over the last year. the vast majority of it is dealing with sysadmin stuff, and there was some discussion around adopting smarty as a subproject within the php project (and how we want to handle future projects that ask for that consideration). i can't remember the last time we've had a technical discussion of any real substance on [EMAIL PROTECTED] we've basically moved all of those discussions here. i think the resistance that people think they feel with regard to things like "making more php have more oo features" has more to do with some developers not willing to be told what features to implement than a notion of those features being a terrible idea. (some of us may think some are a bad idea, but working code can be very persuasive. lots of arguing and handwaving isn't.) jim -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
