How much involvement do you have with PHP development today?
你目前在多大程度上參與了個人網頁程序(PHP)的開發?
A lot less now than 10 or 15 years ago, that’s for sure.
肯定比10或15年前少多了
But I still read the mailing lists every day discuss features and fix bugs occasionally.
但我現在每天仍堅持閱讀郵件列表,討論功能和偶爾修復一下漏洞。
Personally, I tend to be more interested in security and performance-related issues than other things.
我個人對 安全和性能相關的問題更感興趣。
I’m as involved as I have been in years.
多年來我的參與程序一直是這樣。
What’s the structure of the PHP team? It doesn’t seem clear.
PHP團隊的組織結構是什么樣 的?現在看起來似乎不太清晰
There is no structure!
沒有任何結構!
Who makes the final decisions?
那么誰作最后的決定呢?
We do. We have a mailing list called Internals that’s completely open
我們一起。我們有一個完全開放的郵件列表,名為內部郵件
anyone can subscribe to it, read it, post to it and I’ve always been insistent on keeping the process transparent.
任何人都可以訂閱和閱讀,在上面發表意見等,我一直堅持保持過程的透明度。
Anybody can go back and read the mailing list archives to figure out how we got to any one position.
任何人都可以翻閱郵件列查察看我們是如何達到每一個位置的。
It tends to be that code wins.
傾向于代碼取勝。
If two groups are arguing, but one group has an implementation and the other doesn’t, well, the implementation wins.
如果兩個小組在爭論,但其中一個小組有了成就而另一個沒有,那么落實的取勝。
It almost doesn’t matter how braindead it is; if we should have the feature, but we can’t agree on the implementation, we’ll go with whoever builds it.
頭腦有多愚笨都不要緊,如果我們需要得到相關特性又不能認同落實,我們只需要與創建者一起即可。
Is there pressure to be the final arbiter of decisions?
作為決策的最終仲裁者,你是否有壓力?
Sure, there is. I’ve always tried to downplay that role, because I don’t want to have the final say in a lot of these things.
當然有壓力。我總是試圖淡化這一角色,因為我不希望對太多事情作最后決定。
I want the project to be self-sufficient and I wanted to be self-propelling.
我希望項目能自給自足,我希望它是自我推進的。
If I’m in the loop as the make every decision, that doesn’t scale at all
如果我深陷決策者角色,要作出每一個決定,那也是不太現實的。
Honestly, there’s a bunch of things I don’t know enough about. I mean, take Sybase.
老實說,有許多事情我了解得還不夠,如Sybase
I’ve never used Sybase in my life. How would I make an intelligent decision about this versus that with a Sybase extension?
我還從來沒有使用過Sybase,那我如何能夠對Sybase擴展和Sybase作出正確的決定呢?
For a lot of PHP, that’s the way it is. There are groups of people that are much better off making these decisions.
對于很多PHP來說,經常會這樣。這時就需要團隊中的優秀成員來作決定了。
