people.php.net are php.net karma holders. We have no responsibility to disclose any information about our contributors to anyone. It is however fun to do so, so I created people.php.net listing random info about our contributors. If you can think of other fun things to do with that website, I'd love feedback and contributions! The wiki account system is different. php.net karma holders have access out-of-the-box using their vcs credentials. Then there is a special case where you have to register to the wiki itself. Having a wiki account does nothing out-of-the-box. You have to ask for specific access. Since the inception of the wiki I have been the only one giving out wiki credentials. This has mostly been to outsiders wanting to write RFCs. I have vague memories having given 2-3 people access to https://wiki.php.net/usergroups and similar to docs and so on. These people still cannot vote. A person who maintains popular pecl extension cannot vote either, unless the extension is maintained on the php.net infrastructure (and therefore requiring php.net account) btw. There have been several members from the community that have asked for voting privileges, as per the voting rfc. I have arbitrary approved maybe 3 or 4 over the years. The other 5-10 did not get voting privileges because the authors of the voting rfc didn't care. I have absolutely no interest this voting business and and strongly disagree with the entire voting rfc idea. I would love to get back to http://producingoss.com/en/consensus-democracy.html Now. Please go on and become famous by blogging about conspiracy theories (I've got plenty if you are short of ideas!) or whatever tickles your fancy - but please don't be dragging this onto the list. -Hannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
