Hello Martin,

The vote currently under way shouldn't change much for you: It mainly means
that the code of the extension will be moved into a new repository and that
the extension has to be installed using "pecl install interbase" instead of
"./configure --with-interbase".

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.

Regards,
Nikita
