Hey, > PHP 5.3.0, released in June 2009, introduced namespacing, a feature we > have never used yet since we were still supporting 5.2.
MediaWiki 1.20 dropped support with 5.2 - there already is 5.3 code in core. > The reason I opened this thread is so we give a GO/NOGO about using namespaces. My opinion on this subject is that we probably should have guidelines on how to use and not use them, as we do with other language features. After having used namespaces myself at several places now, I see absolutely no reason to not allow developers that want to use them to use them in new code. I'd be good if the guidelines mentioned to not needlessly update existing code, especially if it breaks compatibility. Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com Don't panic.
