Hello Stanislav,

If they are doing bad - yes i do. I have to say i give a fuck about
volunteers - most of them should go to hell because most of them are
worse to projects and they should/would go better without them and
with a strict core team. If you base a project only on volunteers its
just digital environment pollution - and you should be punished for
putting it out.

If your company is not able to finance a solid - even pretty small team
- of a skilled persons who work on the core it's a huge problem for PHP.

Well i'm not a fan of all this free open source as it shows that it is
a total enemy against progress in the IT and slows down development
enourmously (all the success is just overhyping even the singlest
possible step forward for a project - like the 5.3 release after so
many years). Sure you have a magnitude more solutions but
almost all of them are nothing which is competitive.

And the best place were you can see all the bad effects accumulating
is in the tool/language sector.

Congratulations on destroying your career.

*nix was built by volunteers.

email was built by volunteers.

gopherspace was built by volunteers.

The "web" (http sites, which really took off) was built by volunteers.

..and you have just given the finger to everybody who built it.

Good luck!

I would suggest to fix your language too. You may also read about open
source software developments, how it works, where it came from, etc.
It could help you to do not pollute our list with pointless (and
respectless) mails.

Thanks.

Cheers,

Language like that is really going to get your comments listened to -- not!

If you don't like it you can:

a) either walk away from PHP & go to use Java/.Net/...

b) try to fix the problems.

  1) work with the existing PHP team, fix what you see as issues

  2) fork the project, attract a bunch of good developers on the basis of
     the strength of your ideas and your charisma

Yes: PHP has got problems, but it does seem to have much more that is right
than is wrong. PHP documentation is good when compared to many FLOSS projects;
I do agree that some parts of the language description/definition are a bit fuzzy.

The language has inconsistencies: everyone agrees that, but it has evolved into
something that Rasmus would not have believed when he first started.

Oh: which of the actions above is more likely to produce good results
for everyone: b1.

I don't have a problem in you believing that. Now: off you go and pay all
your MS license fees and marvel as to how secure it is and how quickly and
openly they address bugs. We will still accept you back when you become
disillusioned.

Something that we can agree on Pierre!
I much prefer working with 'volunteers' that '9to5 clock watchers' ...
