Not sure April 1st is the best idea for a date... ;) Michelle
Actually, I kinda like April 1st. :-) But, if we can get everyone on the same page in the next week or few maybe June 1st 2008 would be a good idea. - Matt On May 23, 2007, at 12:13 AM, Michelle Cox wrote:

I can see this is turning into a kickover date by committee, and we haven't even begun approaching the other PHP apps yet :) Listen: if we don't get our act in gear, people will abandon ALL php CMS. This will happen. Remember, things used to be done in Perl. Is it time for someone to publish a book "Beyond PHP"??? I say let's get our act in gear: January 1, 2008 at the latest. saludos, Victor Kane http://awebfactory.com.ar On 5/23/07, Matthew Farina <matt@mattfarina.com> wrote:

The folks over at SimplePie.org already have dropping support for PHP4 on their roadmap (but as far as I can tell, no hard dates attached). It seems like the best thing to do is approach a number of major PHP projects, get as many on board as possible, and pick a date. Once the date is picked, go back to the PHP projects which were not originally interested and let them know, as well as the ISPs. I'd bet a few more projects will join, especially if a bit of blogging and buzz spreads the word a bit. I would also argue for targeting PHP 5.2 as the minimum release. By the time this happens, PHP 5.2 will be 2 years old. Only those slow-pokes at the various Linux distributions are that far behind on anything. ;-)
