Should Modle join Go PHP 5?

A number of projects have joined together and set a date (February 5, 2008) on which they are all going to switch to PHP 5 together to break the current vicious cycle where webhosts don't move to PHP 5 because applications still need PHP 4 and applications don't move to PHP 5 because webhosts still support PHP 4. Should Moodle join? See http://gophp5.org/

Just in case you haven't been following the news, the 2.0 release is Moodle PHP5, and is scheduled for early next year.

Well, I've already named Moodle 2.0 as our first release that will not support php4.

Which basically means after 1.9 release (August) we can start ignoring it, because I'm not planning a 1.10 윙크

The question is: are we going to support PHP 5.2 and above or 5.1.x? I guess we will have to support 5.1.6 too because of RHEL 5 슬픈

According to the GoPHP5.org website, the initiative asks that projects, "Make an announcement on your site that by February 5, 2008 you will accept PHP 5.2 features into your codebase and will no longer provide support for lesser PHP versions."

So if Petr's post is correct, Moodle could not yet completely endorse this initiative.

We all agree that Moodle will drop PHP4 after 1.9 release, but it is VERY important that Moodle join the gophp5 initative because of the importance of having big names (as Moodle) as supporters.
