This might or might not be relevant, but there is at least one very-much-alive PHP community within the Apache incubator: the PHP version of Shindig (http://incubator.apache.org/shindig/ & http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/shindig/trunk/php/).
While we haven't been able to attract a lot of committers yet for the PHP part (most people are more comfertable submitting a patch when their implementing it, but don't always feel the need to take that next step), there are well over a dozen individuals who sometimes submit patches, provide feedback & there's over 20 very large websites who use it for their OpenSocial support. Again while maybe not completely relevant, I did want to point out that it is possible to grow a PHP community inside of Apache, and one does actually already exist :) -- Chris On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 10:20 AM, Christian Grobmeier <grobme...@gmail.com>wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 09:38:35AM +0100, Christian Grobmeier wrote: > >> Well, I am highly interested.
