Hi Everyone,

So I've been learning a bit of Python and I already know Perl. One of
the strongest non-language related aspects of both languages is that
they both have a strong and active foundation behind them working
towards furthering adoption and acceptance of the languages within the
enterprise and other sectors.

PHP has Zend.

While I understand that Zend does an amazing job developing PHP and
solutions around the language, I'm wondering why there is no
non-profit foundation working to further the goals of the language in
non-commercial ways. Personally, I think being backed by a non-profit
interest could really benefit PHP and I'm wondering what everyone
else's thoughts on the topic are.

Thoughts? Flames?

Thanks,
Anthony
