Ideas for the future

Store Quizzes in Markdown files instead of PHP fixtures

Simplified - We have a single source of truth for code questions
Future proofing - We can use code snippets in the questions

PHP has these three problems

PHP has too many BC breaks which is making library authors uncomfortable
Voting is too centralised. You have to be in 'the club' to vote on RFCs
Funding is an issue

I personally think that PHP should only introduce BC breaks if:

There is a really good benefit in doing so.
All BC breaks should have been mentioned in the RFC with examples.
BC breaks are only allowed in major releases.
There is a large deprecation window between major releases.
Backward compatibility is important and should prioritised over new changes.

Voting is too centralised.

Mailing lists suck. There are better ways to manage communication in 2022
It does feel like an elitist club.
Follow the RFC guide here https://wiki.php.net/rfc/howto

Funding is a problem

Companies need to take PHP more seriously and pay for the communities time
Companies need understand that open source comes at a cost to both them and the community
