Maybe there's something I missed.y
Regarding the date stuffs, as I told in my last post, I am ready. Derick asked for a couple of days delay, so did Wez too. The most important problem here is not whether or not we were ready but the way PHP releases are managed (or better said not managed at all). This time, I'm lucky enough to have some other developers having troubles. This is not your fault or anyone else fault. this is a communication problem. PHP is getting bigger, more developers are active than ever before. How can you ask so many people to be ready by tomorrow as you asked a few days ago to be ready end of next week? What is the reason for such a change? As a sidenote, with so many developers, I can say that tomorrow does not exit in a release world, next week does sometimes, end of the month being the best choice. I would like to see you respecting your original dead line, and that's the end of next week. I, as some many other, have to plan my work, so I did in coordination with Derick for our date tasks. Why should I now even try to be in time if the given deadlines can be changed in such random ways? I'm not blaming you directly, you may not have the choices. I'm blaming all of us to do not communicate and to do not organize a bit our team work.
