I wasn't saying anyone was. Just sort of reflecting the sentiments of the first post ;)

Wow, my book bribe to Jay really worked. :P j/k
I forgot I even posted that...
Sarcasm aside. The way I see it is, everyone who contributes to the community is part of the team. The badge/title only reflect a level of commitment. A CM badge says I support the project with a donation.(and is able to do some testing on new versions). While a team badge shows that we support the project with the amount of  time we commitment to it daily. SMF friends generally are past team members, but not all of them are. Some have helped SMF in other ways. Zef, wasn't ever officially on the team, but if you look at and page of SMF code, you should see his name.

There's many people who contribute to SMF. Just look @ the customize page. There's tons of themes,mods, built , packed and supported by SMF contributors with out an official team badge. Some of been asked in the past if they would like to join the team, and some have said no. Not because they didn't want to be on the team, because they were aware of the amount of time such a commitment takes, and not everyone is able to forfill it..

We are always looking.  SMF is growing and new members are contributing every day. So if you are trying to get on the team, my advice is ask youself "do I have the time to commit?" and the keep contributing the way you have been. Trust me the team has already noticed.  :D

all i can do is find and exploit bugs, unless of coarse you guys want me to report them and make mods to patch the holes  ::) :-X

If you find 'em, post 'em up in Bug Reports and we'll put 'em into the bug tracker to be patched.

If you can supply a fix, feel free, but don't feel obligated to have to :)

If you have found a security issue in SMF, please use our Security Report page to report this rather than posting in a public forum.

Today, I decided to learn about Simple Machines, LLC.  Learned a lot from what I've read.

But, there seems to be just one area missing.  OS Specific Support.

Sometimes, there is an OS issue that is very hard to resolve that breaks part of how SMF works.

Example:  PHP.ini settings not correct to allow for uploading of attachments.  Linux and Windows version of PHP are no different, but MySQL, Apache and IIS behave different in the different environments, and all are dependent upon the OS on the server.

There are some of us who own our web, ftp and email servers, such as myself.  Helping to configure the different environments for the proper functionality of PHP driven websites on the various operating systems is a definitely plus.

As an example, recently I either discovered a bug with my web server OS and/or email, or I've found a very obscure, yet stranger, bug.  I was hosting 4 different SMF sites, 2 of which sent emails out and were received while the other 2 were not.  Since then I've upgraded to the latest version of SMF.

Sorry, not looking for support for my example, but it is just that.  Trying to figure out if it was my server or a strange rare, obscure but within SMF.  Still haven't figured it out.

But, with all the different operating systems out there, and for users of SMF and owners of web servers, having a server support area would also be beneficial.  While it will not be an overly popular area, there are some of us out there that could use this kind of support in ensuring that our web server configurations are set so that SMF will properly function.

While this is nothing more than an idea of a suggestion, I hope that SMF looks into this area as a possibility.

My server is a Red Hat Fedora Core 5 server with Apache 2.2.2, MySQL 5.0.27, PHP 5.1.6 and SendMail (the version will have to look this up at home).

Well alot of the team members already provide support for servers etc where they can, alot cant be done as most people dont have access as they are only on reseller, and those that do have server access usually know enough or know someone who knows enough ... for example on my site I have a developer who knows alot and alot of friends who help when we both are confused, granted most of my senior team are friends from here :P
