• PHP 5.3 status, wrap-up, and final release plan
• Considerations for PHP 5.4: whether necessary, what to include, etc.
• PHP 6 issues:
  • Solving performance issues (strings with [], etc.)
  • Resolving the current TODO list:
    • Finalize the scope of features: traits, 64 bit integer, etc.
    • What can be left until 6.1?
    • How do we clean up the codebase/cruft as much as possible?
      • What to do with functions that do POSIX locales (such as strcoll())?
    • Where can we break BC to make things better?
    • Can we unify certain functionality, i.e. making all array operations work with ArrayObject interface, etc.
  • Figuring out how to ease migration:
    • How do we test prominent codebases out there?
    • What steps can we take to let people write code in 5.3 that will run transparently on 6?
    • Etc.

• Other things:
  • PDO 2?
  • Scalar typehints
  • 4 different zend_extension_ts lines
