Although probable PHP RFC's won't be as complex as IETF RFC's, I still think the main problem is that almost every developer hates it to write docs. Doc writing is the most worse thing of software developing, I think most people will agree with me on this. However I think the whole RFC will lurk up too much of our precious time. The idea may be good, but I don't think it will work out as it is intended to be. regards, Derick Rethans --------------------------------------------------------------------- PHP: Scripting the Web - www.php.net - derick@php.net SRM: Site Resource Manager - www.vl-srm.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------
