Hi Thomas,

That sounds like an interesting prospect.
As I've mentioned we have a package that we can use for wheezy that we
are happy with running at the moment.
The rate of changes/patches to php5.6 might change how happy we are with
our solution down the track though... ;)
I'm not familiar with the process or what channels one should work
through to provide funding and how much money we're talking.
Can you perhaps elaborate on how this would work?

thanks

Walter
