                      2: 
                      3:                 Important stuff to finish: PPP members/PPP methods, 
                      4:                 support of overloaded extensions, possibly differentiate 
                      5:                 between class and namespace as discussed with Stig in 
                      6:                 Germany.
                      7: Responsibility: Zeev, Andi, Stas
                      8: Time frame:     Couple of months for first part and extensions will be
                      9:                 ongoing while PHP is being fixed.
                     10:                 Things to leave for later versions: Native aggregation
                     11:                 support, accessing static members via object and not class.
                     12: 
                     13: 
                     14: Component:      Aggregation
                     15: Responsibility: Andi, Stig?
                     16: Time frame:     ?
                     17: 
                     18: 
                     19: Component:      Redesign of API Versioning
                     20: Responsibility: ?
                     21: Time frame:     1 month

                     23: 
                     24: Component:      Thread Safety
                     25:                 Identify the extensions that are not thread safe by design 
                     26:                 or due to dependant libraries and identify them as such. 
                     27:                 If possible try to resolve thread safety issue via code 
                     28:                 improvements (if php code or patches will be accepted by 
                     29:                 library maintainers).   For situations where thread safety 
                     30:                 cannot easily be acheived a flag in the extension API is 
                     31:                 set so PHP can identify non-thread safe extensions.  These 
                     32:                 extensions will not be loaded in a ZTS compiled binary 
                     33:                 (unless it is cli/cgi).
                     34: 
                     35: Responsibility: ?

                     38: 
                     39: Component:      SAPI
                     40:                 Environment variables defined in the CGI spec need to be 
                     41:                 verified in each SAPI module that they conform to the CGI 
                     42:                 spec correctly.  If they do not, the SAPI module needs to 
                     43:                 fix the variable prior to script execution.  Having this 
                     44:                 conformity will aid in having PHP scripts run correctly 
                     45:                 under different sapi modules.
                     46:

                     48: Timeframe:      ? (but shouldn't be much effort, most modules are probably ok)
                     49: 
                     50: 
                     51: Component:      RPC Abstraction Layer
                     52:                 Porting java, com, dotnet, xmlrpc, corba, soap and python, srm
                     53:                 (are there more ?) to work with the new oo api and preferably
                     54:                 by using ext/rpc.

                     59: Component:      OO Extensions
                     60:                 Each OO extension has to be revised and rewritten to fit into
                     61:                 the new OO model. We should decide which extensions are a must
                     62:                 to have for the release and which can be ported by the maintainer
                     63:                 later as a separate pecl release.
                     64:                 A list of extensions to be extended that have to be investigated:

                     66:                   * aggregate
                     67:                   * all *sql extensions (*_fetch_object)
                     68:                   * domxml (seems like christian is rewriting it anyways)

                     80:                 function in an extension that doesn't require external
                     81:                 resources. Also developing an automated test thing which
                     82:                 cvs ups's, compiles and tests the build on a daily base on
                     83:                 as much platforms/extensions as possible.
