Hi Ali, [...]

Friedhelm and Sebastian told be that translators are needed and welcome so after my request and remailing to the list Rasmus droped me a mail in wich he stated that he is waiting for Hartmuts O.K.as he's responsible for DOC-DE. But nothing happened. I mailed Hartmut a few months ago, as i wanted to join the DOC-DE team. Even then: No reply. Then i waited and waited and after sending a mail to group@php.net i just gave it up. I really do not see any sence in such a bahaviour as i only want to actively contribute to the German Doc-Pages.

If you want to contribute, just do it, you don't need an cvs account;-)

Quote from "http://www.php.net/cvs-php.php": Requires CVS Account - Translating the documentation I'm getting things wrong, or that page needs an urgent update.

It needs a small update (a better wording for phpdoc and phpdoc-xx), BUT if you've read further, you might have found the following para (and maybe have got an idea of it;) : "Submitting patches and participating in the discussion on the 'internals' list before requesting full CVS access is strongly suggested, so the PHP development team can get to know you and what you'll be contributing. It is suggested that all PHP developers (people developing PHP itself, not people developing in PHP) subscribe to this list. (Similarly, if you plan on contributing documentation, you should subscribe to the documentation mailing list by sending a blank mail to phpdoc-subscribe@lists.php.net)."

I guess, you have setup your environment, take the file(s) you want work on, inform the list about and send your diffs to the list. I am pretty sure, someone with karma will commit your changes in respect to your contribution.

If thats the way, i will do so. Great, welcome!
