That's right, the PHP community _votes_ on language features.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoThough there is a lot of controversy about who is allowed to vote. Currently it's anyone with a php.net account, which is: * People who have commit access to git/svn * Documentation contributors * Documentation translators * PEAR package maintainers * PECL package maintainers * Very few "community representatives"
- pbiggar 12y agoAgreed. I think I still have a vote, and I haven't been involved in PHP for about 6 years.
- chx 12y agoWhile I won't go even close to the PHP internals list, deciding on the community representatives will be... interesting. Drupal, which http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-drupal/all/all http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/cm-drupal/all/all powers 2% of the web has an army of subsystem http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal/tree/core/MAINTAINERS.txt http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal/tree/core/MAINTAINERS.txt maintainers. If you open the gates, whom of them will be allowed to and who won't? Fascinating.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoGenerally the idea is to give the head of the project a vote.
- wvenable 12y agoSince PHP has switched to community voting, the language has expanded smartly by leaps and bounds while maintaining a great degree of compatibility.
