Popular Coding Convention in PHP on Github

For everyone's entertainment I though it might be nice to get PHP added to the [Popular Coding Convention on Github][3] site.

A request [had already been made][1] so I decided to [pick up the gauntlet][2].

My plan of attack is as follows:

Potherca

Introduction

The idea is to create a Jison definition that represents the PlantUML State Diagram syntax.

This is currently a work in progress.

The attached Jison file can be tried and debugged in the online tools provided on the Jison site.

Lights...

On github, I have a lot of repositories. I wanted to have a clear distinction between original projects and contributions.

Then I had an idea.

Why not move all repositories that are forks to a separate "contrib" company account.?

Camera...

Potherca

Every so often I get asked about the origin of my online handle "Potherca".

Where did it come from? What does it mean? How is it pronounced?

This gist contains some of the explanations I give... Mind you, not all of them are 100% true... But so it is online.

I aksed a contact on twitter if he might know some alternatives for the job title Software Tester. He, in turn, asked his followers.

The list below is what was suggested by various people:

• Bug Hunter
• Chief Inspector of Testing
• Digital Entomologist
• Empirical Epistemologist
• Head of Product Suitability

Introduction

As part of the effort to keep [my github account][github-potherca] clean, in 2015 I [moved all non-original repositories][gist-favlet-to-transfer-github-repo-ownership] to [a separate organisation named potherca-contrib][potherca-contrib]. This brought my repository count back down to a manageable level.

Since then, my repository count has been steadily growing. To bring those numbers back down again, I decided to move all non-relevant repositories to another separate organisation.

The first question was: how to name that organisation?
