[wp-hackers] PHP5 Switch Campaign

[Matt Patenaude]

I absolutely love the concept, just a week ago I was starting some  
research on which hosts offer PHP 5 to decide if I wanted to make the  
switch in my own applications.

A central, wiki-based repository would be perfect for this-- what  
would be better is if it could include not only hosts that support it  
by default, but instructions to turn it on for hosts that require a  
little "coaxing."

"usephp5.org" is available, and I have a dedicated server with some  
extra space. Hosting costs could be supplemented by donations. I'd be  
happy to kickstart the project/register the domain, if anyone else is  
interested. :)
