Is Phalcon team thinks to be part of the group https://www.php-fig.org/ , like the most popular and industrial php frameworks at this moment are ?

Personally I think that all php frameworks that claim to become a reference in the web industry must belong and follow the specifications of the "PHP Framework Interop Group" ; it is, somehow, the W3C standard of the PHP development.

I think the decision of join the group is not just ours, we need an existing voting member to sponsor us in order to join the group.

@Phalcon, please clarify on voting members: who are they? PHP-FIG guys or people behind the framework?

One of the current PHP-FIG guys must sponsor one of us in order to be a voting member there.

Hey @Phalcon, it looks a bit childish to me, cause they simply take into account word from the existing member and don't do the actual review. Should be easy as a pie. With PHP-FIG attracting more attention it can help framework's popularity to grow. On the other hand you should delegate someone to participate in their votes and discussions. Should be interesting... :)

Are you going to ask for a sponsor on their Google Group, maybe?
