Hello Marco, Thank you very much for your answer! :) It is very valuable for me! It reveals the decision making process for ZF. Another words, there is no central point where a person can go read and follow the evolution of the process. (Would be nice to have such place, something like a project log, but maybe will be too much work and time.)
So if I want to know who has given an idea and its evolution, I have to read the mailing list, hang on the IRC channel, know and listen the community members. It boils down to being an active community member, dedication and time. :) Thank you again Marco! :) Regards, Stoyan Marco Pivetta <ocram...@gmail.com> hat am 11.
