I don't really see a point to move them there. wiki.php.net/gsoc/2008
is just fine. One can create sub pages to complete a proposal.

What's up with Jani's work?

I'm not sure it is a good idea to bring the relatively small API into
an extension. The slow and complex part is already possible with
openssl (Dmitry's patch).

Something like what is done with ctest (cmake's test tool) would rock.
I can provide links if there is an interest (or see http://cmake.org)

I somehow have doubts about reST now that we have a wiki. Too much
formats will bring more confusions than really helping to write docs,
specs or RFC.
