Hey, why not.

Hi David, I'm Jacob.  My dayjob is as a PHP
developer/sysadmin/dbadmin/designer for a decent-sized
website.  It's appx 100,000 loc of dynamic scripts
(going by wc -l), backed by an 8gb or so db.  We use
PHP for about 99% of the site, including the cron,
utility, and cleanup/maintenance scripts.  What isn't
PHP is bash, and soon there is the chance of a bit of
Python sneaking in.  

It's a hodge-podge of reusable components,
copy-paste-modify, hacks, and code that hasn't been
touched in over 2 years.  It generates table based
HTML 4.0-sloppy, but it works.  We're slowly moving
towards getting the output HTML 4.01 TR compliant, and
then over to XHTML 1.0 TR.

I signed up for the kdewebdev-site list for a few
reasons:

1: I really like Quanta, but I don't have the time to
contribute c++ code so I thought I'd help with the
website.
2: I read zeldman's "designing with web standards,"
and am inspired to try a stab at XHTML+CSS to see what
can be done with it.

I may not be able to do that great with the XHTML part
as I'm still learning how to break my old table-layout
habits, but I should be able to help out with the PHP
part.

So what now?  I think everybody is waiting in the
wings for something to happen.
