I don't see amanda, openacs, or ltsp all that visible to the greater tech (ie. commercially driven) community, and Perl and Python aren't really the same; there not a piece of software like postgresql. > I also get the impression that there's been a significant split between Zend > Inc. and the larger PHP community lately (over Parrot, mostly, I think), so > Zend obviously don't "control" the PHP project. > Well... I don't know that I would say they control the project, but it does seem that php's advances are directly linked to the direction of Zend. The whole zend engine underscores the point, and I think that a lot of the OO stuff in php5 was "eagerly desired" by the zend folks. The truth is that to be a "name" project you need to interface with the media, and the media is generally best at interfacing with companies.
