Cal's "three questions"

• What is "Global Accessibility Awareness Day" and how did it turn out?
• Tell us the good and bad parts about selecting talks for a conference.
• Tell us what you're doing as an independent developer and what advice do you have for someone wanting to go out on their own?

As a language construct within PHP it would be very easy to do the same, but easier to learn and to use. Beside some keyword issues (the RFC uses "use" as keyword, but this will of course conflict with namespaces) I'm wondering what this will have an impact on reflection - the RFC stays unclear about this.

A trait is a free-floating chink of functionality that, instead of being confined to a class (or file) that has to be called on to use it, exists where the developer can use it from anywhere at any time. This helps solve some of the issues with single inheritance in PHP.

At first my intelligence was insulted [that phpBB made the list of Best Open Source Websites], but then I saw the subtitle of the article:

Ana Kronschnabl and Tomas Rawlings pick the best open source websites where users can change the content

and then, while obviously not in the way the authors had intended it, it made perfect sense.

Some of the other sites/software (non-PHP) makes up for its inclusion in the list, including: Wikipedia, Firefox, GIMP, and SourceForge...]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2006 06:36:49 -0600
