Today we held our second Zend Framework community IRC meeting. The meeting was held on Freenode IRC in the #zf2-meeting channel, and moderated by Pieter Kokx. The meeting ran long (15 minutes over), had several heated exchanges, but gained general consensus on a variety of topics.

Specifically, we discussed:

  • Modules - defining what "module" means, and differentiating it from "component", as well as defining these terms in relation to "library" and "application".
  • Distribution categories - what broad categories we'll define as "buckets" for components, and which categories will be considered necessary for the "standard distribution" -- which defines what needs to be done to be considered stable.
  • Timeframes for potential releases.

The full transcript, as well as a summary of decisions, can be found on the ZF2 wiki.
