Re: [phpesp-dev] updated version

[Bishop B. <ph...@id...>]

While I agree the code is horrendous in many places, I caution against  
a wholesale rewrite, for the reasons Joel gives here:
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000069.html

But, if that is the tack taken for v3, we should define the  
requirements, write the functional specification, identify re-use and  
re-factor candidates, decide on the platform tools, draw the road map,  
and declare milestones.  In other words, do it right and try not to  
make the same mistakes.

On that note, is there a wiki or some other collaboration space where  
this information (requirements, specifications, etc) can be maintained?
