Publicado: 01 Agosto 2006 | Correo electrónico | Visto: 4230

Jani Taskinen, uno de los desarrolladores de Zend Engine (el motor que acciona PHP), así como desarrollador para el sistema de seguridad de hilos (threads) y otros componentes bases del proyecto de PHP, ha abandonado, en un mensaje relativamente críptico y secreto (sigue...) publicándolo en lista. Jani ha estado implicado en el PHP cerca de 6 años y su pérdida será indudablemente grande para el proyecto PHP.

Con éste mensaje:

Thank you all for the last 6 years or so. It has been fun (sometimes)
and many times not so much fun. Unfortunately I have had enough and
I don't want to be associated with this project anymore.
I'm sure most people (the ones who matter) can understand why.
If someone doesn't, I could not care less. Take care.
Please do not reply to this email.
--Jani
p.s. Delete my CVS account. I have no use for it anymore.
