php5-general mailing list

php.internals

Are there any plans to separate php5 general discussion from the php-general list? With some major behavior changes (particularly classes that I know of ATM), separating the lists may help to keep confusion between the two. I'm not sure of why the decision of merging php3 to php4, was either the lack of interest in 3, just became to hard to manage the two lists or <other>; but that reason may influence a decision on this matter. Any comments, thoughts, or pure rejections of the idea are welcomed :) Curt

Maybe add a "Please tell us which version of PHP you are using" as a general guideline when subscribing or posting to the list? Is it already there? The problem I see is that if we create a "php5-general" address, in 6 months, maybe we would like to change it back to "php-general" and create a "php6-general", which is kind of confusing. Just my 2¢ (and maybe this is on the wrong list?) Oliver

Dont see it there, but yeah that wouldn't be a bad idea.

agreed! looking at it that way perhaps a php-general-beta list might be more appropriate.

I'm not sure where these kind of questions should be asked, i looked through all the groups over on news.php.net but none of them looked more approprite. Thanks. Curt

FYI, systems@php.net is for issues relating to the various php.net services, and group@php.net is for "policy" discussions. Creating a new list falls somewhere between the two of these, but most people on group@ are also on systems@, so systems@ seems like the better place. IMO, there is no need to make a new general list for php5. --Wez.
