Just FYI:
I will no longer serve as the "process guy", nor anything else really. Feel free to remove
my karma. I may write the occasional post here still of course as I will continue to be a PHP end
user.
Context:
I just feel that with the things I feel are right, I will just end up being tied up in a perpetual
battle. Over the years I got a few things to go the way I wanted (wiki, a todo list, RFCs) but there
are simply some fundamental things where I am no longer motivated to work with the status quo, but
where I do not see a realistic chance if this ever changing.
