Hello all. I hope this is the appropriate place to bring this up. I am a RoundCube user, PHP developer, and one of the co-founders of the GoPHP5 effort.
By now you have probably heard about GoPHP5. (If not, please see http://GoPHP5.org/ for more about it.) I also recall reading recently that RoundCube was considering a move to PHP 5 already.
I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise that I would be very happy if that were true. :-) In just the few short days that GoPHP5 has been "live", we've grown to over 20 projects and over 40 supporting web hosts. The PHP development team is also considering dropping support for PHP 4 next year.
Please consider this a formal invitation for RoundCube to join GoPHP5. If you have any questions, I'll still be on the list so just ask. :-)
Good you made it here. We've had our own personal discussion about PHP5 if you check the list archives (http://lists.roundcube.net) a while ago and personally I've followed the discussion on the mailinglists of SM, PEAR and Smarty - so IMHO this really is the way to go.
When Thomas gets to his email, I am sure he will comment also on if we'll commit to your deadline as well. For right now we decided to make the "devel-vnext" branch PHP5 only and I am in the middle of porting everything. But (of course) we have no date when it's due.
Cheers, Till
