I believe you might have been trying to reply to the "voting without vcs accounts" thread, possibly? I do agree that the current state of affairs with regard to voting on RFCs and the requirements/expectations for one to be promoted into the voting process are about as clear the night sky. There should be more transparency in understanding the requirements and setting forth the expectations for the process in a formal and sane manner. I also think that process should be fair irrespective of gender, race, etc... The process should be subject to one's own demonstrated active (and hopefully positive) role in the PHP community. I think if someone shows initiative to consistently produce positive results they should be accepted into the voting process based on their own merits. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
