tl;dr: Disbanding FIG seems like a scorched earth approach. ie. if I cannot have what I want, I rather destroy it while I can, so nothing new can evolve out of what exists today. --- In a previous email you have stated that it would somehow be wrong for FIG to evolve from its original structure as it would give that new structure “illegitimately” gained standing in the community. Yet FIG has already evolved and most projects and organizations evolve. This is quite a normal thing. Also while there are discussions and different opinions in regards to the direction. It seems that aside from you Paul, most people that suggested doing FIG 3.0 as a separate organization suggested this because they expected severe opposition from people within FIG that want to keep FIG as is. Now if this opposition in the end is just fighting so that a potential FIG 3.0 has to start from scratch then this to me is the definition of scorched earth. Now of course no decision has been made in regards to adopting FIG 3.0 in its current proposed or changed form. But if you would rather see FIG die, than evolve into FIG 3.0 then I think this is a very sad approach. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith sm...@pooteeweet.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PHP Framework Interoperability Group" group.
