Hi all,

Work continues apace on my proposed php.net redesign.

I wanted to float the idea of moving the authoritative source for
version information out of the web-php repository and into web-master.

I have already come up with what I believe is a much better way of
handling information on new releases, by combining the source paths,
release announcement, change logs and other information into a single
XML file (see examples at:
https://github.com/marandall/web-php/tree/rework/data/releases/7_4).

I think though, that this raw data is better kept elsewhere, allowing
for easier audit that won't get caught up in lots of changes for
deploying community-focused features.

I therefore want to discuss moving release information into
web-master, or a separate git repository dedicated just to hosting the
authoritative data, and exposing it via an API (or just pulling it
straight from the XML files) for displaying on php.net (pulling
on-demand w/ caching, or syncing every x minutes).
