      <description><![CDATA[<p>
In a moment of divine inspiration (well, at least a thought that passed through his head at the bus stop), <i>Lukas Smith</i> has thought up and is <a href="http://pooteeweet.org/blog/0/1025#m1025">proposing a group</a> to help promote and advocate PHP, one he calls emPHPower.
</p>
<blockquote>
emPHPower should be a mediator between various (potential) participants in the PHP world. As such emPHPower could serve as a mediator between the PHP.net developers and its user base, between corporations and PHP.net, between corporations and grass roots organizers etc. [...] There are is fundamental concept that I see in this vision: emPHPower is a mediator and catalyst that empowers members of the community to follow their own ideas.
</blockquote>
<p>
He <a href="http://pooteeweet.org/blog/0/1025#m1025">talks more</a> about the actual "doing" of his ideas and mentions things like the project's budget and where it would come from - the possibility of member fees (based somehow on cost of living).
