Google Summer of Code

@yashrajbothra I agree with @adunsulag re. moving from LTS to LTS unless 5.x introduces a brand new component that solves show stopper types of issues facing an application.

For your summer project you can consider bringing in a full featured support for Sessions. Few areas currently lacking :

  1. Most of $Globals belong to $_session
  2. No caching so globals.php loads 100s of globals every time.
  3. No mechanism to share state.

There are several libraries that can be leveraged for this. We use HybridAuth that includes well designed session management layer.
