Last night Joe, Hannes and a few others were talking about the
misinformation out there about PHPNG how it would be nice if the PHP
project as a whole conveyed more information about what is going on
with our projects, sort of how we used to have a PHP Weekly.
Basically, PHP internals developers could be more public to
non-internals devs about what's going on; similarly the website team
can be more public about changes going on there too. Overall it seemed
like a good idea.
So Joe wrote a post. He tried to help curb the misinformation out
there about PHPNG including a JIT. At the same time he was trying to
be more open and transparent to the community at large about PHPNG. He
was also trying to be optimistic and encouraging. All of these things
are *good things*; let's stop the flaming and raging and be
constructive.
I'm currently working on a revision with Joe and others that will
hopefully retain the good parts of the news entry and trim out the
controversial bits.
