I think the important part is that PHP is finally starting to have a reasonable infrastructure for having a proper ecosystem: * Composer for dependency handling and easy library publishing * PSR-0 for standard autoloading * GitHub for collaborative development * Travis for continuous integration These four combined make it much easier to publish simpler, more decoupled libraries that "just works". Node.js has a very similar infrastructure with NPM, and there indeed this has produced hundreds of compatible modules that are widely used, and that don't need any sort of monolithic project governance structure. I think there is still a place for an effort advocating library interoperability, quality and coding standards. Zeta could be that, but it needs to be part of this new ecosystem, not something standing outside of it. > Toby /Henri
