It was started by George during last years GSOC. Zoe and Stefan were also working on it after GSOC ended. Both Zoe and Stefan ran out of time and it went dormant for a bit. I contacted Zoe about the status and offered to pick it up, but I also offered to organize TestFest this year. > --Jani > > > > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > I really do want to do both but I can't do both at the same time as they both will be big time sinks for a part time volunteer. Solutions: 1. I continue to work on TestFest and then work on run-tests.php as soon as the TestFest load lightens up enough to allow it. 2. Someone else picks up run-tests.php and I focus solely on TestFest. 3. Someone else picks up TestFest and I focus solely on run-tests.php. My vote is option 1 as I really like both projects. But it wouldn't be fair for me to slow either down if the need for both is pressing. Eric Lee Stewart
