Re: [PHP-DEV] Moderate PHP-DEV

2003-03-12 Thread Weston Houghton
This worries me somewhat. I do not have a CVS account. I do not 
actively develop and contribute to the PHP sourcecode right now, 
however my company uses php very very much. I would like to keep up to 
date on what is happening with the development team and figuring out 
what directions they are leaning and why. And if I want to contribute 
code down the road, I would like to be able to.

So, I don't have a cvs account right now, and I don't need one, but if 
it were required to be on the list, then I would not be able to be on 
the list.

I'd appreciate not having that requirement myself.

A couple thoughts

Aside from renaming the php-dev list, we should remove the 'PHP and 
Zend Engine internals lists' from the regular mailing list page, put 
them in a 'developers' section (name isn't important) that describes 
cvs access, dev email lists, how to build (ie. win32 libraries), etc.
I guess this is the solution!

Then another item that might be considered if it is not already done, 
allowing posts only from those that have cvs access.
Hm, i don't know. I for one directly contacted rasmus as he was the 
developer mentioned in the sources
in which i found and corrected errors when i started working here. 
However i guess not all of us started
this way, did we?

A second conditional list of allowed posters can be added that are 
people who do not have cvs access, but we want to allow to post.
That would be a minimum requirenment

Otherwise, the list can be readable by all.
Dito.

A post rejected message could tell them to try a different email 
list, but if they really feel the email is for the dev list
I already did this proposal but it was declined...

, send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it will be reviewed by someone when they 
get the time.
Round robin list? Everyone in php-dev has to take care for some days?

A secondary followup, as I do work on php extensions, I do think that 
questions regarding those would fall to this list, but again might not 
require a cvs account?

Just playing Devil's Advocate to some extent here.

You could be on a list of pre-allowed posters.  also note, this is only
a write requirement, reading is completely free.
