I guess I can see how it would be useful from a developer standpoint; developers who are hardcore on PHP now have a place to network, showcase, share ideas, explore the range of functionality of PHP, etc.
It's actually quite similar to the idea I had, originally, for my site. Originally zentu was going to be a "developer network" of sorts. . .
But in the end, I thought there's more use to be had by classifying according to end-use functionality rather than languages; however, I made sure to devote nice, hefty sections to development frameworks, CMSes, etc:
Not to steal thread thunder or anything. ;)
P.S. and my site certainly isn't as pretty. . .
That's how Rails got so popular.
It tends to make sense to put most of the effort on frontend usability, especially for web apps.
Developers who think through clear UI are more likely to get the back end right.
I don't really care about design; that's someone else's job. But I bet I can code the backend fine.
Err, that's not really the point of free software. The free software movement is more about freedom than not paying money (libre vs gratis).
You really want to stick it to the man? Pirate proprietary pay-for software. But you wouldn't want to do anything illegal now, would you?
Beware that in some cases, that's still a net gain for the proprietary vendor: if you weren't able to pay much for, say, Photoshop, better to have you as a Photoshop user who will buy it at some later date, recommend it to your friends, and otherwise participate in the Photoshop using community, rather than, say, learn Gimp on Linux.
I'd say the logo looks more like the Nissan Motor Company logo.
