PHP-GTK - silently withering on the vine....

[Slowchaos]

I believe that php-gtk was a good idea but it is slowly withering on the vine. No real apparent interest in taking it to the "Java" level - and god, I hate java!

Without support, centralized updates and timely handling of issues there is little chance this will ever be more than it is now - a foot note in the history php. Not that I am bitching, all these intelligent people giving their free time to such a project is amazing - but money talks and people walk.

Maybe gnope should look into donations via support/problem resolutions. I've been to a couple of automotive maintenance websites where they give a question/problem out to freelance techs. You offer a donation first and then if the tech answers your question satisfactorily then he gets the $$$.

Perhaps gnope could put out a "php.ini path resolution" request, looking for a way to keep other installations of php from interfering with each other - ie., using the wrong ini file. People interested in this resolution could donate $$$ to its cause and the first person/group to come with a solution that is accepted by gnope would get the cash.

Also, posted questions could have a donation button and the poster could select the individual who has the best response.

Just some ideas that might kick this thing in the arss......
