While I think occasionally it'd be nice to get everyone, or atleast a sizeable group, into some sort of chat situation
would greatly benefit the project, I think most of the "meeting" type things will have to be done over the wiki/forum deal.
I also added myself to the Offical Volunteer list thing. I'll post some ideas here when I get off of work.

I've added some content to the wiki. Feel free to add to it. It looks like each page has it's own discussion page, so that will come in very handly.
I noticed that the sample store I installed is down. It's hard to turn on register globals on my server because of the way it's configured. I'll investigate why they are turned back off and get it fixed ASAP.

In the past, I've used forum software for that cause. It's perfect for it.. each thread is a topic, they are grouped into forums and sub forums of discussion. On one instance we used threads as 'versions' of discussions, whilst the sub-forum was the topic itself.
e.g.:
Code: Select all
Forum Index
- Bugs
- Bug001: Magic Quotes.
- Thread: Discussion (Started:12/05/2005)
- Thread: Discussion (Started:30/03/2005)
- Bug002: Value 'x' incorrect after 'y' calculation
- Thread: Discussion (Started:23/11/2005)
- Design
- Index
- Thread: Discussion (Started:05/06/2004)
- Thread: Discussion (Started:01/03/2004)
etc..
Vanilla being the choice due to it's 'discussions' view.
FYI: Added a discussion to the 'First Steps'

How about we all pick one or more pages and create a rough draft feature list for it. Let\'s aim to have everyone done by Sunday. Use the wiki.
I saw the discussion. How are we going to format that to keep track of what everyone says? Should I install a forum?

I say yes... install a forum.

I'd agree. A forum of some sort would be really make communication easier.

Why bother with a completely seperate forum? The "PHPDN Revival" folder group is for PHPDN projects like this.

I offered to help out this project by organizing the project notes using ztml. I can also use ztml to set up a forum as well as news and personal blog. ztml is an open source project so anyone is welcome to join. In fact I'm looking for people to help out.

Also added some discussion to coding standards.

I've just edited your post.

Edit:
About the naming... I know that some of you are used to CamelCase, but think of it for a moment... Which is easier to read (takes less time to read):
doSomeKindOfWork
or
do_some_kind_of_work
Which?

Those are really up to the group at large. Personally I prefer myCuteLittleFunction, but that's just me. Mostly just because I have this affliction with typing underscores, but if the group were to decide the _ is the way to go, then lets do it. Those were just a starting point.

If we use camelcase for naming and underscores for path seperators, we can use __autoload and not have a million requires and includes in the code. This is my suggestion

I'd suggest you not use __autoload(). Mostly because if someone is trying to integrate this application into an existing system that also has an __autoload() they'll have to take a good deal of time to merge the two or walk all of your code.

well even if we don't use __autoload, we could still utilize the naming convention I talked about and build something like Zend's loadClass.

I have no problem with you guys coming up with some helper functionality for loading, my only problem with the current direction of discussion is using __autoload(). Now don't get me wrong, it's still all y'all's project; I'm just chiming in. You don't have to take my word as doctrine. Not that I suspected you were or anything; I just want to put that out there just in case.
