Project: PHP Common Objects and Datatypes
method: for everybody who wishes to contribute, and for everybody
to review, discuss and work on the same classes.
what are they: classes we can all use, that have been discussed,
reviewed and agreed between many great developers around the world.
the classes: all the common ones we can re-use from "User" to
"Address" "Email" "Article" and beyond, also perhaps wrappers for
primatives / scalars.
expanding: extra abstract classes we can also use, common
interfaces for the above; eventually maybe utility classes as well.
the idea wouldn't be a framework or another php classes, more of a
repo full of common classes to save us all some time, and as a nice
project anybody can contribute to and which we can all discuss and
debate the finer grained details.
additional: these would maybe be best to stick to common usage, so
if we have say a "User" class in our own project with specific
needs, we can simply extend the base user class and add our own
functionality.
thinking of putting this distraction and debate time to good use
that we can all benefit from.
would also propose sticking to php 5.X [we could decide a version]
and obviously OO; but then if the procedural guys wanted they could
as well.
maybe it's just me, no commitment, no solid work, just bits of
contrib and discussion / feedback.
follow? thoughts? comments? interest?
[everybody, even tony, would need max input and discussion to get
the best solutions for us all, and class at a time should mean we
get a steady stream of classes to the repo.. think about 6 months
down the line]

Morning Nathan!
Count me in! Not sure what I can do to help yet, but more then
willing to pitch in and give my opinion where I can at least make an
attempt at sounding intelligent! :)
