Hi Jacek, These are great news! I would love to see the PHPUnit, the Debugger and other features integration open-source'd so I could join the force and fix few annoying bugs and regressions I noticed in recent versions.
It would be great to have more info about the topic in this mailing list (or elsewhere in public).
