1. Have you ever needed to generate PDF files on-the-fly? (Yes/No)
2. If yes, what did you use for that? (PDFLib/libharu/Other)
3. Did you try PECL/haru or libharu itself? (Yes/No)
4. Are you interested in open source library for PDF generation (written in C)? (Yes/No)
5. Would you like to take part in development/maintenance/testing of such a library? (Yes/No)

I'm thinking to move libharu development under the PHP.net umbrella (Takeshi Kanno, the original author, has just agreed to that), just as we did with GD, but I'm not yet sure if there is a need for it in the community.
At the moment libharu development is de facto stopped because the author lacks time for it and I personally think it would be a great pity to lose this kind of library.

So what do you people think?
Are there any people willing to help?

Derick added 5_3 snapshots to snaps.php.net some minutes ago.
Short list of what you can find there:
- Namespaces
- Late static binding
- __callstatic() magic method
- Accessing static members through $foo::myFunc()
- Fully rewritten ini-parser with .htaccess-like user defined ini files for CGI/FastCGI
- Improved OpenSSL extension
- PCRE 7.4
- other fixes and improvements that will never get into 5_2 branch.

Please test it as tough as you can before the release!

Short version:
Fix old bugs, don't add new ones.

Long version:
I'm a bit surprised by the amount of new language constructs recently requested on the internals list.

First of all, I should note that none of these requests are supported by patches, so I call them gimme's. "Gimme that feature from language X, I used it once and it's just awesome!!!1111", you know. Quite useless.

Second, people seem to forget the fact that new features do not appear in older versions automagically after they're added into HEAD and old installations tend to live forever very long. So even if this feature does eventually get into the core, for quite a long time you would be able to use it only on your own server because your hosting provider uses good old PHP 4.3.4 (or even PHP3, see this) and is not going to update it because this may break other customers phpBB's.


So here is the new "feature" I would like propose myself: let's make all the existing things working as they should instead of adding a bunch of new features used by a couple of hackers.
If you're bored and have an itch to hack something, take a look at bugs.php.net, I'm sure you'll find it quite entertaining.
