They should _not_ be too technical, _not_ too long, but yet as simple as possible, but exactly as precise enough to be relatively unambigious if you know about the PHP conventions. For example like that zend engine 2 white paper. But they need to be updated, and not discarded. They shouldn't be too hard to create, and definitely not too hard to grok. A simple template could help achieving this. All of the above IMHO, Jeroen
