Hey ,

We've been talking about PHP6 for several weeks now.

From what I understand, we agreed on :

- We must release a new major version, ASAP I'd say
- It should be named "PHP6"
- It should break BC where needed, and introduce new concepts
- The main concept to concentrate on is Unicode implementation
- All ideas have been grouped at https://wiki.php.net/ideas/php6
- We go for a 2 year developpment iteration


All in one, 5.6 is going to be released in few months, and we now must
concentrate on PHP6.

For this, there are two needs :
- Start writing RFCs, PHP6 specific, and start debating ideas on an
"official" basis (RFCs + mail discussions)
- Branch PHP6 , so that we can start hacking and get more motivations.

Thoughts about how/when to branch PHP6 ?
