I really wish we had a process similar to Python's PEPs [3] [4] for PHP. Having guidelines for issues like adding a new module [5] or deprecating a module [6] not only makes the development consistent but also transparent to our users. Wishfully thinking, Sebastian (who knows that it might not be his place to call for a change like this given that he is not a core developer) -- [1] http://wiki.oreillynet.com/eurofoo/index.cgi [2] http://www.egenix.com/files/python/EuroPython2004-How-Python-is-developed.pdf [3] http://www.python.org/peps/ [4] http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0001.html [5] http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0002.html [6] http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0004.html -- Sebastian Bergmann http://sebastian-bergmann.de/ http://phpOpenTracker.de/ Das Buch zu PHP 5: http://professionelle-softwareentwicklung-mit-php5.de/
