Lukas Smith has his own take on the PHP "meeting of the minds" that happened the other day posted on his blog, including some issues he raises with a few of their decisions.
Looking through Derick's notes I have a few comments to make.
I have been following the various wishlist items for PHP6 with quite some personal interest. I even compiled all the wishlist items I saw on mailinglists, on IRC or that were brought up at conferences and put it online. Much of these items made it on the agenda at the recent PHP6 core developer meeting in Paris.
Some of the things he mentions include: Unnicode support choices, PECL extensions, impartiality over some of the engine changes, and a few bothersome items that are to be added...
