By your mention of Jani, I derive it was a long time ago :) Quite a lot changed since then, even though the internals list is still not the most friendly place on the nets. But the processes got better, I think, and the level of maturity of both discussion and participants increased. Also, thank you for the kind words, and I'll be glad to help with what I can if we need something done in PHP core. -- Stas Malyshev [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
