So I will have (hopefully) enough time to understand the extension development and get into the process of the PHP community. By the way: Pierre Joye mentioned to request access via a github account at https://www.php.net/git-php.php. I read the complete instruction. But I'm still unable to process successfully. I always get an error saying the answer is not correct. Surely I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what. That's a similar problem as with the subscription form. Please consider to make it more user friendly. I am sure other people will fail as well. What are the next steps? In which area should I register as a maintainer? In the ext or PECL area? How do I do that and who is my contact person? Regards, Martin

I cannot find my translations too. I've create German translations for these files: - ibase-add-user.xml - ibase-delete-user.xml - ibase-modify-user.xml Last time I was logged in I saw it still in pending state. I thought nobody was able to verify in German. But now the translations are gone completely. Maybe someone did a garbage collection ... Well, it wouldn't be a problem to translate again. But then the changes should also be incorporated. Regards, Martin -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Nikita Popov [mailto:nikita@gmail.com] Gesendet: Montag, 15.

Could you maybe provide a link to one of your patches? (Right click on the patch, then "View unified diff" and then click on "Direct link to this patch" at the top.)

I've added the changes via edit.php.net. But nothing happened since then. I think it will be a good practice to request direct access.

Unless you already have one, please request a PHP git account at https://www.php.net/git-php.php. Once it is approved you will be granted access to the ext/interbase extension in php-src, as well as the new PECL repository for the extension once the move is completed. You can then commit changes using git via git.php.net. To update the documentation you can either use the editor at edit.php.net (useful for smaller changes and does not require permissions), or also request direct commit access to the documentation.

[PHP-DEV] Re: [RFC VOTE] Unbundle ext/interbase
Hello everybody, I want to give you the general state of the Firebird driver. At the end of January, I agreed to continue developing the Firebird driver as a maintainer. In this regard, I first took care of getting familiar with the code and an important bug (# 72175). Obviously, this information has not got through to the PHP community for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, the project seems to be pulled away by the vote to remove the driver underfoot. It would be nice if someone could agree with me on the further steps regarding further development. I particularly need help with the following points: 1. How will I be deposited as a maintainer? 2. Who has commit rights for changes? 3. How are changes in the documentation checked in? Here are my changes have not been committed for years. 4. Where are the current development guidelines? I have an old book, but it does not seem to reflect the current quality standards. Maybe it's to late. But maybe we (the Firebird and the PHP community) can continue on a common path.
