I noticed these errors for mahara:

--------------------------------------------

By the looks of things the way we are designing our abstract functions is not quite correct. Looking at http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration52.incompatible.php

"Dropped abstract static class functions. Due to an oversight, PHP 5.0.x and 5.1.x allowed abstract static functions in classes. As of PHP 5.2.x, only interfaces can have them."

And looking at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php

We may need to switch to late static bindings (or something else)
