 From the PHP.net website:

[13-Jul-2007]    Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has 
been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over 
PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the 
way, PHP 4 will be discontinued.

The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will 
continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be 
no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security 
fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the 
rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.

 From past discussions on this forum, it is my understanding that the 
current code base is not PHP5 compatible. Should I be concerned? I was 
going to have a look at the BQ site to see if there was a later code 
release online - but the site was down.... (can someone kick the server 
please?)

Seriously .... who is / has / will be looking at this? If there are 
smaller subsections that someone wants to farm out, I am sure there are 
many people in the BQ community who would contribute to this task....

Regards,
Greg.
