Hi all, Thx to the initiative of Scott and Steph we had an IRC discussion with several code developers. The result is that we have decided to go with backslash as new separator for namespaces. The IRC log that illustrates why we in the end decided to go with changing the separator and the final decision on backslash can be found on the wiki [1]. Greg is working on a patch, however Dmitry said he will assist even though he was actually opposed to the decision we made in the end. I very much appreciate Dmitry accepting this decision in such a professional manner. At the same time I hope that all people that have participated in this discussion accept this decision as one that was made by a sufficiently large subset of the development community. We did not take the decision lightly but we felt confident that this decision is for the best of PHP going forward. As the patch is still under development it is yet unclear how this will affect the scheduling PHP 5.3. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith mls@pooteeweet.org [1] http://wiki.php.net/rfc/namespaceseparator
