I don't know how much that would help. More than half of the core
developers don't even use PHP in their day-to-day work. :) We are
working on expanding the credits page for the website, so we should
probably include one-line bios.

This already exists at http://www.php.net/sites.php3. It could
certainly use even more high-visibility sites.

I don't believe that any of us enjoy any sort of "official" corporate
support, except for the couple who are consultants (or own their own
consulting company).
