      <description><![CDATA[<p>
A bit fed up with some of the developers out there, <i>Pierre</i> has posted some <a href="http://blog.thepimp.net/index.php/2006/11/09/123-prominent-php-users-or-developers-do-your-homework-or-be-humble-and-quiet">symptoms and suggestions</a> for those who don't "do their homework" before opening their mouth (or keyboards).

<blockquote>
It becomes more than annoying to read slides or blog posts from some prominent member of the PHP Community about things they do not know. It is for a warning. It is not aimed to be diplomatic or to target any particular person or group of persons (even if some are obvious ;-). But one thing is sure, we have to worry about what we say about other projects or other developers work.

He <a href="http://blog.thepimp.net/index.php/2006/11/09/123-prominent-php-users-or-developers-do-your-homework-or-be-humble-and-quiet">asks questions</a> of these sorts of people (like "why do you talk about something but has little/no clue about it?" or "why do you wait the day of the release to talk about possible issues?") and some solutions to these sorts of problems:
<ul>
<li>learn what you are talking about and keep your knowledge up to date (especially for new features, they change a lot during the first year)
<li>Your talks or blogs are no bug report, mail php-internal, report a bug or ping the devs on IRC (idle is also not productive)
<li>Don't wait the release day to make your own promotion on our backs. All PHP releases may introduce new issues, that's why we have RC.
</ul>
