[fw-general] Wil's bowing out. . .

[Wil Sinclair]

Hi all,

I'm afraid I won't be working at Zend in the coming year. I've had a
great time working with all of you, and I wish you and the ZF project
all the success in the world.

My personal mail is w...@wllm.com. I won't have a lot of time for Zend
Framework in the next few months, but you can find me working with the
guys from CakePHP on a new project called Lithium:
http://li3.rad-dev.org/. Hop on IRC and drop by #li3 if you'd like to
chat.

Happy New Year!
,Wil

I believe we're talking about the Digitalus 2.0 repo. I've heard some
encouraging news from Forrest, so stay tuned!

If you're talking the ZF 2.0 repository, it hasn't been created yet. ;)

Thanks Wil.

You mentioned Digitalus, http://digitaluscms.com. It seems like it might
be
the best example open source project running on ZF.  They mention
version
2.0 is under development and will take advantage of more core ZF
components,
but I can not find a public source repository containing version 2.0.

[fw-general] Zend_Amazon_Service_DevPay

[Wil Sinclair]

The Zend_Amazon_Service_DevPay proposal is ready for review at
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Service_Amazon_DevPay
+-+Wil+Sinclair.

This proposal should be interesting to any developer that is looking to
make a buck on the cloud. The DevPay service takes care of all billing,
fulfillment, payments, etc. The only thing you have to do is write the
next best thing. :)

Please drop me a note if you're using this service or plan to use it;
I'd like to hear how things go.

RE: [fw-general] ZF Open Source Project: Example of Best Practices?

[Wil Sinclair]

Simplecloud.org currently runs on EC2 and the next generation of
Digitalus. It's even using components of Zend_Service_Amazon and the
Simple Cloud API- it's 'cloud native', so to speak. J I may be able to
open-source the code, but I'd have to talk with Forrest
(creator/maintainer of DigitalusCMS) first.

 

I'm also working on an app called the Simple Cloud Explorer that is
designed to demo SCAPI in action. This will definitely be open-sourced
and liberally commented/documented, but I can't make any promises on the
release date.

[fw-general] Zend_Service_Amazon_SimpleDB ready for review!

Hi all, I've posted a proposal for a SimpleDB client library here:

[fw-general] Queue Service for Simple Cloud API now available!

Hi all, I'm happy to announce that another service has been added to the
Simple Cloud API- the Queue Service with support for SQS. You can check
it out from the laboratory here:

Please give it a whirl and leave feedback on the proposal:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Queue+-+Wil+Sin

The Simple Cloud API has been progressing nicely, but we need your help.
The interfaces are not completely solidified, so now is the time to
provide your input and ask questions.

 

Thanks, and keep it cloudy. ;)

Are these API's available to PHP? Or are they only available to Apex?

 

If so, how do you access them? Locally or remotely?

Salesforce uses a query language called SOQL : Sforce Object Query
Language, similar to GQL you refer to.

If I'm right 'Documents' in this case would mean the Salesforce Objects
such as Accounts and Leads so I think an adapter would defiantly be
worthwhile.

To access the Objects at present Salesforce offers a relatively small
PHP toolkit that uses the PHP SOAP module.

Maybe you can tell me if they have services for which Simple

written for almost any kind of service; it doesn't have to be a RESTful,
SOAP, XML-RPC, etc. service. In fact, all of the adapters currently are
written to what appear to be local services, like the client lib for S3.

 

I've thought about how appropriate a document service adapter
would be for Google's GQL database, for example. Of course, that will be
some to consider for the Simple Cloud API after they finally get around
to supporting PHP. ;)

Hi all,

 

On Sept. 22, Zend launched the Simple Cloud API project:
http://www.simplecloud.org

 

This ambitious project makes cloud application services from
vendors such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and Rackspace available through
one API, bringing the platform portability that you expect from PHP to
the cloud.

 

I'm happy to announce that the proposals for Zend_Cloud_Storage
<http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Storage+-+Wil+

<http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Document+-+Wil

Please take a look at the proposals and leave any feedback you
have.

 

Thanks!

RE: [fw-general] Re: [zf-contributors] Re: [fw-general] SimpleCloud API Proposals

[Wil Sinclair]

Matthew and I actually spoke with Daniel Lo and Justin Plock about this very 
issue before the announcement. We decided to leave room in Zend_Queue for 
additional features because there was a lot of feedback on the Zend_Queue 
proposal calling for more message-oriented features.

As Matthew (Weier O'Phinney) points out, Zend_Cloud_Queue was designed 
specifically for simple queues in the cloud, like SQS. Features that aren't 
common to most of these queue service offerings will not be supported in 
Zend_Cloud_Queue. We're actually planning to have a 
Zend_Cloud_Queue_Adapter_ZendQueue (the naming can- and probably should- be 
tweaked) adapter. This will provide support for local queues through 
Zend_Queue, which is important for 'offline' development for the cloud. We will 
probably write direct adapters from Zend_Cloud_Queue to 
Zend_Service_Amazon_Sqs, however.

As with all design decisions in the Simple Cloud API, we're open to new ideas. 
So if there is a better way to do this, throw it out there so we can discuss it.

This is a great discussion, and we should make sure it is added to the 
commentary on the proposal. I'll paste this response in a comment there. I'd 
appreciate it if everyone responded on the proposal instead of on the list so 
we can track these discussions and keep them in a place that someone new to ZF 
can find them.

RE: [fw-general] Simple Cloud API Proposals

Nope. Just haven't implemented them yet.

 

The story on the site is that Forrest Lyman (of Digitalus fame) and I
designed it from scratch to use the Simple Cloud API. Unfortunately- or
rather fortunately- the announcement got *way* more attention from the
press than we expected, which took up more of my time than I had
budgeted for this.

 

So, to make a long story short, we'll be updating the site in the coming
weeks to add all the features we wanted to have at launch. Including
page titles. ;)

[fw-general] Azure support in ZF!

Hey all- a bit of news I thought you might find interesting.

 

Microsoft has been working on a PHP library for Azure, and they have
announced that they will be contributing it to Zend Framework:
http://blogs.msdn.com/interoperability/default.aspx. This gives PHP
developers another option for deploying their applications in the cloud.
And, as of this writing, Azure is free!

[Wil Sinclair]

Hey all,

 

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been busy in my new role
at Zend trying to bring PHP to the cloud and vice versa.

 

The fruits of my labor are starting to come online, however. One fruit
I'm particularly proud of is the new social network for PHP in the
cloud: http://www.cloudheads.net.

 

I'd be honored if the ZF community stopped by. If you like what you see,
you can sign up as a member.

 

And there's more to come! In particular, I'll have some very interesting
news involving ZF and the cloud soon. Stay tuned!

While I appreciate Andi's summary of the success of the project while I

believe we will continue see even more success and adoption in the PHP

Please keep in mind that this is not a farewell. You'll be seeing me

Hi all,

In the time Wil led the ZF project we have seen almost a 12x increase in
ZF downloads excluding 3rd party distribution vehicles. We also saw a
significant increase in adoption of ZF in the largest of organizations.
These and many other accomplishments are a testament of the progress ZF
has made under Wil's leadership.

Given the recent leadership change at Zend it made most sense to move
the ownership of the project over to the CTO, Zeev. Matthew will have
the opportunity to step up into this new role and leave his own marks on
the project as has every previous leader.

Wil will continue to work for me directly on other strategic projects
Zend is currently looking at so he will be not very far away.

Please join me in thanking Wil and welcoming Matthew into his new role.

[fw-general] Zend Framework 1.8 Preview Release is Now Available!

[Wil Sinclair]

It obviously wasn't enough for us to release Zend Server
  today, we've

also made the Zend Framework 1.8 Preview Release available at: 

 

http://framework.zend.com/download/latest

 

While 1.8PR is not a feature complete release in the 1.8 series, it 

nevertheless contains some very important features scheduled for the 1.8


production release: 

 

* Zend_Tool, contributed by Ralph Schindler

* Zend_Application, contributed by Ben Scholzen and Matthew Weier
O'Phinney

* Zend_Navigation, contributed by Robin Skoglund

* Zend_CodeGenerator, by Ralph Schindler

* Zend_Reflection, Ralph Schindler and Matthew Weier O'Phinney

* Zend Server backend for Zend_Cache, contributed by Alexander Veremyev

* Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2, contributed by Jon Whitcraft

* Zend_Service_Amazon_S3, Justin Plock and Stas Malyshev

* Zend_Filter_Encrypt, contributed by Thomas Weidner

* Zend_Filter_Decrypt, contributed by Thomas Weidner

* Support for file upload progress support in Zend_File_Transfer,

contributed by Thomas Weidner

* Translation-aware routes, contributed by Ben Scholzen

* Zend_Json expression support, contributed by Benjamin Eberlei

* Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl, contributed by Benjamin Eberlei

* SOAP input and output header support, contributed by Alexander
Veremyev

* Support for keyword field search using query strings,

contributed by Alexander Veremyev

* Support for searching across multiple indexes in Zend_Search_Lucene,

contributed by Alexander Veremyev

* Support for page scaling, shifting and skewing in Zend_Pdf,

contributed by Alexander Veremyev

* Locale support in Zend_Validate_Int and Zend_Validate_Float,

contributed by Thomas Weidner

* Phonecode support in Zend_Locale, contributed by Thomas Weidner

* Zend_Validate_Iban, contributed by Thomas Weidner

* Zend_Validate_File_WordCount, contributed by Thomas Weidner

 

This obviously marks a very important step towards a high-quality, well 

tested 1.8 production release. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to


this release in any way: with patches/check ins,
documentation/translations,

and bug reports. 

But our work is not yet over! Let's put this release through testing 

hell, while continuing to make progress on other features scheduled for 

the production release of 1.8. Please remember to provide feedback on 

our issue tracker   and ask any
questions on the appropriate mailing list. 

 

Again, the Zend Framework community does NOT recommend this release for 

production use. We do, however, recommend evaluating new features in 

this release with existing and new applications. 

 

Enjoy the 1.8 Preview Release, and see you around!

RE: [fw-general] SECURITY ADVISORY

[Wil Sinclair]

Good question. We will not be incrementing the release number. This might cause 
confusion for 2 reasons: no release was actually built and offered on the site, 
and it would blur our policy of leaving old releases branches completely 
behind. Obviously we’re making an exception for security patches on the second 
point, although as a community we should really be putting the effort in to 
testing BC so that few people will have to take advantage of this update 
method. So, for these reasons, we’d prefer to use the patch convention: 
1.7.7-p1, for example.

 

Matthew will be creating a p2 tag later today, and may create a p1 tag next 
week (there shouldn’t be anyone who should need this tag at this point + it is 
complicated by the commit order of the backports).

 

As always, thanks for the feedback!

Wil,

We have one project that is running on a client's RHEL server and are using ZF 
1.6.2 due to compatibility issues. I see that these fixes have been backported 
to the release-1.6 branch but no new tag was created (the last tag in 1.6 is 
1.6.2 last updated on 10/12/2008). Wouldn't it be appropriate to create a new 
1.6.3 tag with this backported fix? If not, I can simply switch my 
svn:externals to use the branch instead of a tag but it just seems more 
appropriate for me to use tags instead of branches in my svn:externals.

Thanks,
Bradley

Well I presume that the lack of response to this question means it's

RE: [fw-general] Zend Framework 1.8

[Wil Sinclair]

I’m probably the most qualified to address this question, so here’s my chime 
in. We still have some work to do with Zend_Tool and Zend_Application, as well 
as giving more time to contributors to finish proposals that we’ve given 
recommendations on in the past few weeks, so we’re simply not prepared to give 
out dates yet.

I would say Q2 is a safe bet, but then again I have a tendency to pull things 
in if I see a release getting too big or starting to form too many dependencies 
on incomplete features. ☺ I don’t recommend planning anything based on the 
timing of the 1.8 release at this point.

So, what *does* the ZF team recommend WRT the release?

• Help us out with the release by trying the components in incubator and giving 
us feedback. Zend_Tool is particularly important, and- as it is primarily a RAD 
tool that generates code- there shouldn’t be significant concerns as far 
backwards compatibility to the production version goes. I’m actually *begging* 
you to try this component; WE MUST GET THIS ONE RIGHT. If you don’t like the 
SVN route, Ralph has set up a PEAR channel. Instructions can be found here: 
http://ralphschindler.com/.
• Take a look at the Zend_Application proposal and leave feedback: 
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Application+-+Ben+Scholzen. 
This is another critical component that we cannot afford to get wrong. It will 
likely affect 95% of you in profound ways.
• Help us in the ways that you do for any release: file bugs, submit patches, 
update the wiki, etc.

To be completely honest, 1.8 is *big*. As far as user impact goes, probably 
bigger than 1.5. This makes the risk manager in me sound the alarms at top 
volume. So you can help me maintain my personal sanity by doing what you can to 
make the 1.8 release a success. :P

RE: [fw-general] Zend Server & ZF

[Wil Sinclair]

Just like every technology- including Zend Framework itself- Zend Server won’t 
be for everyone. If you prefer other stacks- hopefully after trying Zend 
Server- ZF will still run well as long as you have the necessary extensions, 
PHP version, etc. I personally like Server a lot; it’s hard for me to imagine 
going back to another stack at this point. I also think that many ZF users will 
find the feature set and convenience irresistible, but we’ll see about that in 
the next few months. ☺
In any case, there is a *much* better place to carry on these discussions: 
http://forums.zend.com/. I hope you'll find the discussions there as 
constructive as the discussions on the ZF lists.

Ease of use.  Instead of manually installing a webserver and/or configuring
your webserver to PHP, and then having to manually update PHP when security
issues come out, you can do it all through the Zend Server UI.

Then on top of that you get the cool things like monitoring and logging,
page caching, etc.  Give it a try to see.

[fw-general] Zend Server & ZF

[Wil Sinclair]

I'm sure that many of you have heard the news that Zend made its
next-generation application server available for public beta today:
http://devzone.zend.com/article/4272-Zend-announces-public-beta-of-a-new
-product-Zend-Server.

 

Many people have been asking how this will affect Zend Framework users.
The fact is, we are the people who are likely to benefit the most. Why?

 

1)   Zend Server will provide a dead simple way to install
everything you need to start working with ZF on any supported platform,
including the major Linux distros, Windows, and Mac OSX. In combination
with Zend_Tool and Zend_Application, Server CE will get our brand new ZF
users up and running within a few clicks. And don't forget- Server CE is
free!

2)  There has never been a better environment to run ZF applications
in, period. Zend Server has all the necessary extensions, will have
Zend_Tool executables pre-installed, and- in the paid product- will have
security hotfixes for issues like the one we ran in to last week
(ZF-5748),

3)  There is much more to come.

 

I hope everyone will take a few minutes to give it a whirl:

[fw-general] SECURITY ADVISORY

[Wil Sinclair]

The Zend Framework team has been notified of a potential Local File
Inclusion (LFI) attack vector in Zend_View's render() method. To address
the issue, as of the 1.7.5 release the render() method no longer accepts
paths that include parent directory traversal (e.g., "../" and "..\") in
the path argument. This introduces a regression in behavior which can be
addressed by turning off the lfiProtectionOn flag. For more information,
see:

 

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.migration.html

 

If this advisory does not affect your applications, please disregard. We
take security very seriously and will continue to notify all users when
a security fault is discovered.

 

Thank you.

RE: [fw-general] Last hope for a dying experimental Atlassian Crowd component

[Wil Sinclair]

I've been meaning to say this for a while, but the planetarium project
is not dead. It's just on hold while we finish off Zend_Tool and
Zend_Application and get them in to your hands to play with. I'll have
more information soon.

I think a Crowd authentication client would be great. I would encourage
those who are looking to step up from a patch submitter to a
full-fledged, svn-access-having contributor to pick this one up and run
with it.

Another possibility is to test our OpenID client against the Crowd
OpenID server. This would require some assistance from our side, which
could be a significant blocker right now.

All of that said, Crowd supports some pretty critical features (groups
within groups is the big one for me) only on LDAP. For this and other
reasons, we have kicked around the idea of migrating the user base to
OpenLDAP. But with how busy we all are, this won't be bubbling up to the
top of the backlog any time soon.

RE: [fw-general] No announce for 1.7.3PL1

[Wil Sinclair]

It was released due to a missing 'require' in the ZendX_JQuery
component.
I'm sorry that I didn't send out an announcement, but I really didn't
think that this was significant enough to warrant one. Given the
community's reaction, I'm thinking that it wasn't significant enough to
issue the patch in the first place.
I'll review 'to patch or not to patch' decision in more detail going
forward and announce it on the contributors, general, and announce lists
if we patch a release in the future.

RE: [fw-general] No announce for 1.7.3PL1

[Wil Sinclair]

We decided not to do a release announcement for patches. We've released them in 
the past for other packages like GData and didn't announce them then. Plus, 
there are no new features, bug fixes, etc., so it's not much of an 
announcement. :) If it would help avoid confusion, I can send a quick note to 
fw-general if we ever have to patch again.

[fw-general] Favorite CLI for a framework?

[Wil Sinclair]

As everyone should know by now :), we're focusing heavily on RAD tools
in the 1.8 release. So that we can design the best CLI interface
possible, we'd like to know if anyone has had experience with the CLI's
for other frameworks. Frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Django, CakePHP,
Symfony, etc. If so, what did you like/dislike about them?

Thanks for any feedback!

RE: [fw-general] Unable to create issue in jira

[Wil Sinclair]

OK, please read this carefully so that we don't cause any more
confusion. A CLA is only required if you are contributing code or docs
to the project. It is not required for creating a new issue. If you
cannot create an issue after signing up with the issue tracker, there is
a malfunction in the issue tracker application. I am looking in to it
now.

The phrase has to be changed in "care to print a Cla, sign it, do a
1500+ pixel wide scan and send it to us, wait to be moved your issue
tracker user in the developer group, and then file an issue?". IMHO
lowering the entry barrier for an user should be useful, there's not
intellectual property in a filed bug/feature request.

RE: [fw-general] Eclipse PDT 2.0

There is a ZF formatter in Zend Studio; not sure if you can use that
with PDT 2.0. CC'ing our Studio team lead in case he's got a solution
for you.

Subject: [fw-general] Eclipse PDT 2.0

 

a little bit offtopic, but i want to ask some devs about that.

I tried the new PDT 2.0. There is a source formatter. But it only
intends and replaces tabs with spaces or vice versa - There are no
advanced settings possible like brace policy, indentation, array syntax,
etc. like in Zend Studio (of course).
My question now to those who use PDT Eclipse: How do you format your PHP
Source Code more detailed - According to a coding style like the Zend
Framework Style? We use PHP_CodeSniffer to detect Coding Style
Violations. But is there a tool - perhaps an eclipse plugin, which
formats the source code according to a coding style definition? Is
PHP_Beautifer the right tool for me? - I can't see any advanced settings
possibilities either in its documentation.

I found one tool which comes very close to my needs.
http://www.waterproof.fr/products/phpCodeBeautifier/
But it is also only a compromise, because many things still missing.

The best solution would be a Pear_CodeFormatter (does not exist) which
reads the style definition in a xml format and PHP_CodeSniffer would
also be able to understand this xml style definition file.



I appreciate any tipps or suggestions.

RE: [fw-general] ZF Pear channel / Zend_Tool installation

[Wil Sinclair]

There is a very important footnote I'd like to add to all of Ralph's
good work. While the focus of 1.8 will be RAD tools which provide much
of the functionality that most people consider criteria for a
'framework' nowadays, we are hardly abandoning our use-at-will and
component-library-like architecture. In fact, we intend to show how a
project can function both as a component library and a framework without
compromising on either aspects. The very components that implement the
RAD tooling (Zend_Tool and Zend_Application, so far) will be use-at-will
themselves. These simultaneous 'component library' and 'framework'
aspects will form a duality in the ZF project going forward and all
design decisions should accommodate both.
That said, for most of you this is not an important point. After all, if
ZF works well for you, who cares what we call it? :)

[fw-general] Influencing poll/vote statistics. . .

[Wil Sinclair]

Hi all, it has come to my attention that some community members of other
PHP projects have asked their community to vote on certain polls and
feature requests for other projects that pertain to their own projects
in their own public forums. I'm happy to say that I have neither heard
of nor seen any evidence of this from a ZF community member, and I hope
anyone who notices such behavior would bring this to my and the ZF
team's attention so that we can fully discount the results of that
poll/vote.
While I would never ask anyone in our community to act against their own
values, I suggest that you consider whether it is really fair to try to
influence votes before you act on such an impulse. The ZF team and I
don't believe it is. We believe that it is far more productive to invest
that energy in improving the Zend Framework project itself.
I won't cite any specific URL's in this mail for obvious reasons, and I
hope that everyone will refrain from doing so on this list.

Thanks.

RE: [fw-general] Extended Zend_Ldap component in Standard Incubator

[Wil Sinclair]

As a bit of a historical note, we always intended Zend_Ldap to be a placeholder 
for a full LDAP client implementation. What was contributed for 1.5 was only 
the functionality needed to bind, thereby authenticating a user, to an LDAP 
server. We felt it would be awkward to have all of this code in the LDAP 
Zend_Auth_Adapter folder, since we fully expected someone like Stephan to come 
by and fill out our LDAP support.. Please, Stephan, feel free to add whatever 
functionality you need to either existing classes or folders where it makes 
sense. As long as it’s all BC in the end. J

Can I suggest calling it Zend_Ldap_Extended instead?  In the PHP world "ext"

confusion about its purpose.

Hello everybody,

after having been accepted for Zend Standard Incubator development the
proposed extended Zend_Ldap component (formerly known as Zend_Ldap_Ext) has
been moved to the Standard Incubator for further development.

Overview:
The existing Zend_Ldap component currently just responds to authentication
use cases in all their varieties. There is no posibility to query a LDAP
directory service in a unified and consistent way. The current component
also lacks core CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update and Delete) functionality -
operations that are crucial to for example database abstraction layers.
This proposals tries to resolve these deficiencies in that it provides a
simple two-ply object oriented model to connect to, query and perfom CRUD
operations on an LDAP server. The first layer is a wrapper around the
ext/ldap functions, spiced up with extended functionality such as copying
and moving (renaming in a LDAP context) nodes and subtrees.
The second layer (Zend_Ldap_Node) provides an active-record-like interface
to LDAP entries and stresses the tree-structure of LDAP data in providing
(recursive) tree traversal methods.
To simplify the usage of the unfamiliar LDAP filter syntax this components
proposes an object oriented approach to LDAP filter string generation, which
can loosely be compared to Zend_Db_Select.
Usefull helper classes for creating and modifying LDAP DNs and converting
attribute values complete this component.
Furthermore it is possible to do some LDAP schema browsing and to read and
write LDIF files.
It is important to note, that this proposal is a complete replacement for
the current Zend_Ldap component and does not break backwards-compatibility.

For further information please take a look at the proposal page:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Extended+Zend_Ldap+Proposal+-+
Stefan+Gehrig

The next development step will be to separate the ext/ldap function calls
from the core component and move them into an own adapter class to allow for
other adapters (e.g. testing adapter with no real LDAP connection) to be
attached to a Zend_Ldap object.

Feel free to try and test the component - feedback is always appreciated!
I'm especially interested in tests against other LDAP servers than OpenLDAP,
which is the only one currently available to me for development.

Best regards

Stefan

[fw-general] ZF Blogs/Tweets

[Wil Sinclair]

As some of you are probably already aware, Matthew and I invest quite a
lot of time in reading both blogs and tweets on Twitter about Zend
Framework. I can say personally that this has been a particularly
educational and rewarding activity for me. Unfortunately, the volume of
the blogs/tweets has increased to the point where I can't reply every
time I'd like to. That's where I hope people in the community can help.
If you're interested in catching Zend Framework content (and hopefully
commenting/replying), you might consider setting up the following:

* Go to http://search.twitter.com/ and search for either 'Zend
Framework' (many people are referring to ZF without the 'framework'
part- esp. with the 140 char limit- so you'll miss some) or 'Zend'
(you're likely to pick up all Zend products, Zend engine, and I think
there may be a word 'zend' in Dutch from some of the results I see. :))
There is a link for an RSS feed on the results page that you can add to
your feed reader.

* Do the same on http://www.technorati.com/. Developer blogs aren't
always widely read, so I pick 'with any authority' in the advanced
options. Again there is an RSS link on the results page.

Please let me know if you have any questions or additional suggestions
on how to get to the latest ZF content on the web. And, please, if you
could help us help any of these people, we'd *really* appreciate it.

I just ran across this site (I know, I'm probably the last person on the
internet to know about it) and noticed that they have a pretty good PHP
tutorial section: http://www.pixel2life.com/tutorials/php_coding/. Some
very good Zend Framework tutorials popped up when I searched for "Zend",
but other great tutorials that I have seen before didn't seem to be
registered there. I'd encourage everyone to register their personal
favorites; I'm going to register some of mine later today. :)
BTW, it's a PHP site with pretty URL's. Anyone happen to know if they
are using ZF or another PHP framework?

Hi,

[fw-general] Our BugHunt winners. . .

[Wil Sinclair]

Here are the top 3 from JIRA:

Thomas Weidner- 18 fixed bugs
Ben Eberlei - 14 fixed bugs
Mickael Perraud - 3 fixed bugs

Matthew fixed 15, but Zend employees aren't eligible. Besides, he
already has a ZF shirt. :)

There were a total of 59 bugs fixed that week, which is several times
our weekly average. Not too shabby.
If your name is listed above, please send me your mailing address. Don't

RE: [fw-general] Zend Framework 1.7 is now available!

Should be sometime later this week. We’re looking in to another option that 
would preserve the link in the PDF doc. I’ll announce it’s availability here 
and on fw-announce.

RE: [fw-general] Applying ZF coding standards to a project

[Wil Sinclair]

Are you trying to do more than one file at a time? Studio shouldn't have a 
problem with that; I've done it myself on a fairly long script. The way I 
typically do this is wait until I have to work on the file, reformat it, 
*commit changes* so that programmatic changes aren't lost in the noise, and 
refactor/commit again.
Following coding standards is not the most important part of refactoring for 
the project you are working on. For everyone else, we hope to announce soon 
what this exciting project is.

[fw-general] RE: [zf-contributors] Re: [fw-general] Re: [zf-contributors] Zend Framework SVN Commit Proposal

[Wil Sinclair]

I'm not sure why you guys are asserting that JIRA has regular problems
that would affect the web service API somehow. There was a recent
problem with a few users not getting recognized in JIRA that I solved a
few days ago. The only times that it has been down in the last few
months is are the few times I've taken it down for a 5 minutes or so to
test a fix for the problem above. At worst, you'd just have to wait a
few minutes to try your commit in this case.
Long gone are the days that JIRA was down for hours at a time, and they
aren't going to come back. That said, this seems like a pretty strict
commit hook, and I can't promise that there will never be issues with
JIRA that might make such a commit hook fail on a good commit.

Might want to make the ticket expression /ZF\-\d+/ just to make
maintenance of
the hook easier.  You'll also want to prevent commits to tickets that
are
closed.


That would require a JIRA lookup, which means Jira would have to be
running
100% of the time and without load.  Not sure that requirement can be met
at
this time but we are getting there.
  
You could implement a separate lookup table that gets updated every time
a ticket status changes using the same interface the IRC bot uses. This
would decouple the SVN hook from JIRA which is important as JIRA seems
to have regular problems. I think the lookup table will stay mostly in
sync if the notification interface is reliable, but that would have to
be tested.

[fw-general] Atlassian feature requests for PHP developers. . .

[Wil Sinclair]

Hey all, Atlassian has expressed interest in support PHP development, so
I'd like to help them by providing feature requests from actual PHP
developers. To this end, I've set up this wiki page:
http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Feature+Requests+for+Atassi
an+Toolset. I'd like to focus on PHP-related features, but feel free to
enter more general feature requests if you believe they would
significantly benefit the project. After I've had a chance to go through
and figure out which product issue tracker they should be entered in, I
will register them on Atlassian's site.

Thanks.

RE: [fw-general] Speed up Zend framework

[Wil Sinclair]

Matthew Weier O'Phinney is working on a performance guide as an appendix
to our manual. It covers a lot of practices that should improve the
performance of your ZF app. In addition, the 1.7 release contains
several performance enhancements in the MVC components and elsewhere.
An important fact to note, however, is that frameworks always add some
execution overhead to an application. This overhead becomes more
pronounced the simpler the app is, which is why I have to sigh every
time I see a performance benchmark on 'hello world' applications. You
should always test performance on the kinds of applications you intend
to write with ZF.
This 'framework performance hit' can even be questioned, since most
frameworks provide tools and best practices to improve the performance
of your own app. Zend_Cache is a great example. You can use this
component to cache your application data, and for complex applications
these sorts of app level performance enhancements usually have a much
greater impact on overall performance. I think it is fair to say that
frameworks make it much easier to optimize complex applications.

[fw-general] Now how do I get a Zend Framework shirt?

[Wil Sinclair]

OK, since I had to turn away so many people with the correct answer,
I'll give y'all another shot at it. As everyone should know, bughunt
week starts Sunday (11:59 PST to be exact), 11/2 and runs until Saturday
(11:59 PST to be exact), 11/8. I will give out a t-shirt for the 3
contributors who resolved the most bugs as 'fixed' during that time.
Some rules:

* Bugs must be fixed with a corresponding commit specifying the bug ID
and a regression unit test also specifying the bug ID in the docblock
like '@group ZF-'. No other resolution will count towards your
total, although you should really be nice and resolve those that don't
require a fix anyways. All right, how about this? If there are any ties,
total resolved bugs will be used to break it.

* Since this is a bughunt, only issues of type 'Bug' count.

* Do *not* assign an issue to yourself until you are ready to work on
it. At the time of assignment, click 'start progress' to mark it as 'in
progress' so that no one else starts work on it.

* If anyone does anything to the detriment of the project or one of the
other contributors, s/he will be disqualified or publically humiliated
at my discretion.

* If I've missed any pertinent rule above, you get the general idea. I
reserve the right to add and/or change rules at any point.

* Most importantly: Don't do it for the shirt, do it for the greater ZF
good.

[fw-general] And the winner is. . .

Stefan Gehrig, who emailed me exactly 8 minutes after my original post (note to 
self: make question harder next time).

The question: Correctly identify the original source of the foot image on this 
page: http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Home.

The answer: While many people correctly noted that the foot was also used in 
the title sequence of "Monty Python's Flying Circus", the original painting 
that Terry Gilliam clipped it from is described here 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus,_Cupid,_Folly,_and_Time. Look in the lower 
left-hand corner. Apparently the foot originally squashed a pigeon. :/

Kieran Hall (who got it on the first try)

[fw-general] Proposals & 1.7

[Wil Sinclair]

Hi all, I'm going through the proposals in preparation for the 1.7
release. In particular, we'll be assigning new Zend Liaisons to
proposals in any state other than 'new' and 'ready for review' and/or
proposals with a Zend Liaison that is no longer at Zend. I'll be putting
these proposals in 'Ready for Recommendation'. Don't worry, most if not
all recommendations on proposals that are active will not change; this
is simply a way to put the proposals back in our queue for new Zend
Liaison assignment.
Note: I'm currently cross-posting these contributor-centric posts to
fw-general and zf-contributors. I won't be doing that for much longer,
so if you are a contributor and are not on zf-contributors, go subscribe
to zf-contributors. Do it now before you forget. :)

RE: [fw-general] Which list is the correct one?

[Wil Sinclair]

Usually patches are submitted as attachments to comments on the relevant issue. 
It looks like you've already submitted the patch there, so thanks! As far as 
fixing bugs/applying patches goes, the ZF team at Zend is currently very much 
heads down on the 1.7 release. I recommend you add a unit test for that 
particular issue if appropriate, then ask Alex or one of the other direct 
committers in the community (you'll usually find them here or on the 
#zftalk.dev IRC channel) who is familiar with Zend_Soap to help you out. 
Alternatively, the Zend ZF team will be turning its attention to bugs in the 
next few weeks as we organize our first coordinated bug hunt.

Thanks again.

RE: [fw-general] Zend Framework 1.7 Preview Release is nowavailable!

It should also be mentioned that this is something that was identified
in the initial performance tests. Matthew will be doing much more
performance testing in the next few weeks, so we will hopefully deliver
more performance enhancements with the 1.7 production release.

[fw-general] Zend Framework 1.7 Preview Release is now available!

[Wil Sinclair]

We're absolutely elated to announce that the Zend Framework 1.7 Preview
Release is now available from the Zend Framework download site!

http://framework.zend.com/download/latest

While 1.7PR is not a feature complete release in the 1.7 series, it
nevertheless contains some very important features scheduled for the 1.7
production release:

* New Zend_AMF component
* Dojo Toolkit 1.2.0
* New ZendX_JQuery component
* Support for dijit editor
* Metadata API in Zend_Cache
* Google book search API
* Performance enhancements
* Application-wide locale with other i18n enhancements
* File upload form element enhancements

This obviously marks a very important step towards a high-quality, well
tested 1.7 production release. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to
this release in any way: with patches/check ins,
documentation/translations, and bug reports.
But our work is not yet over! Let's put this release through testing
hell, while continuing to make progress on other features scheduled for
the production release of 1.7. Please remember to provide feedback on
our issue tracker (http://framework.zend.com/issues) and ask any
questions/post your experiences on the appropriate mailing list.

Again, the Zend Framework community does NOT recommend this release for
production use. We do, however, recommend evaluating new features in
this release with existing and new applications.

Enjoy the 1.7 Preview Release, and see you around!

[fw-general] Create issue issue. . .

[Wil Sinclair]

Hi all, I ran a few scripts on the JIRA instance to make sure everyone
is in the right groups. Could the people who were having trouble seeing
the 'create issue' link check whether they are still having problems and
get back to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks.

RE: [fw-general] Re: Why can't I comment on issues in Jira?

[Wil Sinclair]

I'll look in to the creating issues, u. . . issue, later today. In general 
I need to refactor our entire grouping paradigm, since groups of groups were 
added in the latest version of JIRA, and they would help us keep things much 
simpler than they are now.

RE: [fw-general] Get ZF components as zips separately from themain distro

[Wil Sinclair]

I'll go one step farther than Matthew and say that we *strongly
encourage* community members to cover the corner cases of distribution
for ZF. For example, we've long asserted that a component-by-component
PEAR channel will not be something that we'll be taking on at Zend, but
it is an example of a distribution channel that I and the rest of the ZF
team here would love to see. This distribution mechanism also seems very
compelling.

Please, keep them coming!

[fw-general] Nabble v. Spam

[Wil Sinclair]

Hey all, I just went through the spam filter again, so that's why you're
getting duplicates. I'm going to try to start doing this weekly, but it
takes at least an hour so no promises. :/
I've noticed that a lot of the mails that get stuck in the spam filter
have been submitted via Nabble. I highly recommend you join the list if
you would like to maximize the probability that your mail will get
through.

RE: [fw-general] Smarty Poll Question

[Wil Sinclair]

Tony, I suggest you wait until a 1.7 release candidate to do your
benchmarks; the ZF team at Zend is focusing on performance enhancements
for this release. While I don't know of any specific enhancements for
Zend_View right now, I know that it will be one of the components we'll
be looking at.

RE: [fw-general] Sender CC'd post?

[Wil Sinclair]

I'm currently cleaning out the spam filter. I deliver all the mail
there, which often includes duplicates as people try to get their mail
through. There are a few reasons for this: I don't want to spend any
more time trying to diff the mails to see what might be different and I
want to make sure all email accounts get whitelisted in case they tried
multiple accounts.
I'm not sure how CC'ing yourself would fix anything. Maybe I'm missing
something?
I recommend people mail the owner of the list
([EMAIL PROTECTED], for example) before trying to mail the
list again.

RE: [fw-general] Infrastructural problems? Issuetracker, apidocs etc.

[Wil Sinclair]

My apologies, Patrick. I'm not sure how you sent your reports, but I
never received them. Could you please send me your username in a direct
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We are aware of the API docs download issue and will work on it once
we've finished our tasks around ZendCon.

As far as infrastructure and general communication goes, it's certainly
fair to say that the ZF team at Zend doesn't have a perfect track
record. We're always trying to improve, so your feedback is greatly
appreciated. That said, stuff happens. We have 4 guys on the team, and
I'm in charge of Java administration right now; the team and I
unfortunately cannot always make administering the site and tools our
highest priority. We try to deliver the most value to the community that
we can, and sometimes that means that we can't have things go 100% the
way we'd like them to. I try to manage our time and tasks to avoid
inconveniences to the community, but we would get far less done if we
invested our time in the vigorous QA that would be required to make sure
that the kinds of issues you mention never come up. I'd love to hear
people's feedback on this; I have come to the conclusion that most in
the community prefer this MO over the alternative by anecdotal evidence
alone.

Please also keep in mind that the ZF community has grown considerably
since the 1.0 release, and judging by several metrics I track on, growth
seems to be accelerating with every new release. While this is great for
the project and the community, it sometimes does make it difficult for
us to answer every communication and address everyone's individual
issues. I'm always interested in any process improvements that might
help us keep up with the growth, so please don't hesitate to make any
suggestions.

Hi,

I'm not sure if there are any infrastructural problems at Zend, but I
noticed that there are some things not going well.
I.e. there are no apidocs downloadable right now. Until the last 1.5
release they were available.
The other thing is, that I cannot report any issues. I have two accounts
(one for my company one for myself) and I cannot create new issues with
both of them.
I created one issue with my business account, but some days later the
permission to report new issues was dropped.
Yes, I was logged in and I also tried to get it working by cleaning the
cache and cookies - nothing helped.
If I'm logged in, I also experience problems when I want to browse the
wiki. I always get "Not permitted" errors/messages until I log out and
browse it anonymously.

I sent two or more emails to the Jira administrators and reported the
problems, but I neither got any response nor the stuff is working.

Sorry for that, but this is not the best way to manage a community...

We at our company are also Zend partners but none of our requests are
heard anyway.
It is all a bit annoying...

[fw-general] ZF *Certification* and ZendCon 08

[Wil Sinclair]

OK, so if my last email wasn't persuasive enough, I just found out that
we'll be offering a limited number of *free* registrations for the new
Zend Framework certification we'll be rolling out at the conference. As
I understand it, instructions for registering will be available at the
conference when attendees check in. I recommend signing up as early as
possible; like I said, there is a limited number of registrations
available and once they are gone, they are gone. This is *in addition*
to the free PHP 5 certification that will be available at the
conference.

I've been waiting for an additional site update that will fix the

and #zftalk.dev for ZF contributors) before sending out the fw-announce

RE: [fw-general] FYI: new php framework benchmarks

[Wil Sinclair]

I agree with you entirely. One of the goals that we hope to accomplish
with our performance audit is authoring a 'performance guide' as an
appendix to the manual. We could add a section about performance testing
that focuses PHP developers on how to properly test performance, what
the numbers mean, and if they should be worrying about it in the first
place. Maybe you could help us out with some of the content. :)

RE: [fw-general] ZF 1.6.0 sanity check packages.

[Wil Sinclair]

Maybe one way to address this is with a 'special notice' in the release
notes, like we did with both the Lucene indices and naming enforcement
for actions in the 1.5 release. Thomas, if you think this would be
useful, please send me some text explaining the known limitations ASAP.

RE: [fw-general] About improving ZF doc translation

[Wil Sinclair]

I kept it right around 70 columns, mainly because the code started moving off 
the printable page and it would have been hard to read in a smaller font. But 
translators should consider waiting a little while before applying these 
formatting changes, unless you'd like to render your docs in PDF now, that is. 
I will be looking through all the docs and making them consistent style-wise 
very soon after 1.6, and I will have to make changes to the code listings at 
that time as well.
I apologize for all the changes. As some of you may have noticed, while the 
content is typically good and consistently thorough, the writing styles, code 
conventions, and formatting can differ widely from one section to the next on 
the master English document. It has been livable up to now, but really comes 
out when you render the ref guide in a single document. The changes I have been 
making and plan to make were chosen in part because they shouldn't impact 
translations that much. I think we should talk about methods by which we can 
start sharing examples and figures as a partial solution to this problem if the 
translators feel that they have to be consistent even with code formatting in 
the translations.

RE: [fw-general] Zend Framework Freelancers

[Wil Sinclair]

Have you looked at http://www.odesk.com/? I've seen lots of job postings
and skills lists that mention ZF there. We're actually working with them
at the moment to make it easier to find Zend certified engineers in
their system. What does this have to do with finding skilled ZF
developers? You'll find out very soon. :)
