Hello folks,

  i see at least two bigger comlain threads going on. But i don't see
anybody writing tests or offering additions to the upgrade info files
be it for version 5.2 or 6.0. So is comlaining so easy and writing php
so hard?

Best regards,
 Marcus

p.s.: I of course see a bunch of people working or actually trying to
make progress by finding out technical issues, you guys know who you
are but i just felt i have a need to complain too.

As a reminder on how to write tests:

     http://qa.php.net/howtohelp.php

(Thx to Marcus for his offlist reminder).

This doesn't tell the average user how to submit standard .phpt test cases
for inclusion in the source - I guess they'd have to readup/join the php-qa
mailing list to find that out.
