Hi (again), A quick re-intro for those who don't know or remember me: I'm one of the original PHP Group members, mostly active during the time of horses, buggies, and the transitions from PHP/FI to PHP 3 and PHP 4. I worked for MySQL through their acquisition by Sun (and then Oracle), and was responsible for a lot of the community/development infrastructure there that grew out of what we had done with PHP (mailing lists, bug tracking, the documentation comment system).
Anyway, one of the ways I've been getting back into the PHP community after a long time away is through people on Mastodon and following the #PHP tag there. Recently someone[1] brought up that there was no link from PHP.net to the PHP Foundation so that people and organizations who wanted to (financially) support PHP would even know where to look. I submitted a PR to the web-php project to add some text and a Donate button to the front page of PHP.net. Derick suggested that I bring it to internals@ because of the politics involved. And certainly, since I've been out of the loop for a long time, I have to admit ignorance of where those may sit. But from my perspective, it looks like the PHP Foundation is the most sensible place to direct this energy, and worthy of it. I'd be happy to shepherd an RFC on this. Since almost everyone in the PHP Group seems to have been inactive for a long time, I know there's not really a process in place for this sort of non-technical community discussion and decision making, so the RFC process may be the best way to handle it now. Thanks. Jim [1] https://phpc.social/@ViejoViajero/111381912606384803 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
