I might be compenent, but it was a waste of time. I'm not an OOP
programmer and I don't like PHP 5 yet. Thought I'm not alone. I
better not to deal with PHP 5 if you're going to support it like
that when PHP 6 is out.

Just wanted to help. I forgot about C long ago and do not have too
much experience to answer stupid questions myself. Sorry to bother
you.

Maybe you need to expand developers base somehow or make advanced
hot patch submission/review/approval/integration system on top of
chora, so less time will be wasted to review patch submissions.

Do as you wish.
