There's no release schedule yet, asI'm still planning how things will 
work out.  Here's my initial plan so far...

1.  The NDOUtils addon will likely be merged with the Nagios CVS code 
as development on 3.0 gets started.  This will provide DB integration 
(initially with MySQL only).

2.  Preliminary work on the PHP interface will begin in about 1 
month.  The first things that need to be worked out include:

	- Authentication mechanisms
	- Authorization rules
	- Multi-language support
	- Theme support

3.  General work on the PHP interface will begin in 2-3 months.  
Several people have already volunteered to help out - if you'd like 
to be included, drop me an email and I'll let you know when things 
are ready to get started.

All things considered, we are probably 6-9 months away from having a 
decent PHP replacement for the current CGIs.  The CGIs won't be 
removed from Nagios 3.x CVS until the PHP interface is ready to go.
