PHP/Eclipse
Does anyone have a recommendation for a PHP development environment?
I've been using Eclipse for Java development, so I'm going to look at the PDT Eclipse plugin. I was wondering what experience people have had with this, or other PHP dev tools.

Question about using developers.mit.edu for community support
I'd chatted briefly with Steve about using developers.mit.edu to create a few forums for peer-to-peer user support on unsupported IT topics. Similar, perhaps, to the intent behind the Linux Users but more broadly applicable.
A few follow up questions:
- Who all should I talk to to find out if we can use developers.mit.edu for this?
- Is it possible to create a sub-section of forums, perhaps with a small topic list, so we don't crowd out or confuse the developer forms with a number of user/peer support forums? Or is the forums list limited to a flat list?

Suggestion for new developer forum
I'd like to throw out a suggestion to create a "Tools & Utilities Developers" forum. I know most of these seem to be by language or platform, but there are a lot of folks at MIT writing random scripts, tools, utilities, Firefox plugins, and so on that it would be great to create a community around.
Reusing, sharing, and modifying these is common practice (although it's sometimes hard to find them or connect with others) and could save a lot of time for folks.

Mysterious Apache Hang - Clearing semaphores fixed polyeidus.mit.edu
Here is the URL to the page that gave me the tip that got polyeidus back up. We should be monitoring this for a couple of days.
http://rackerhacker.com/2007/08/24/apache-no-space-left-on-device-couldn...
So, this was really weird, clearing the 125 orphaned semaphores owned by the www user fixed the problem, and Apache started up with no more complaints.
Now, for what happened. In short, we do not know yet. There were no noticed errors before this, and once we hit this problem, the errors we got were:
Custom theme for developers.mit.edu
After our last meeting, it was decided that we'd like to improve the theme for developers.mit.edu. I'd like to get this discussion started here in the forums. In particular I'm interested in collecting suggestions, and also hearing from people who are willing to assist in the development of a custom drupal theme... what their skills are, what they'd like to contribute, etc.
I'll start it out:
Suggestions:
- I'd like to see a theme with color scheme that reflects MIT better.
- I think the content on this theme is too narrow, so either widen it, or make it elastic.
