Approving CVS requests (was: to the German-people ...)

The php-group isn't really quick in approving CVS-requests indeed. Of course I understand they're busy, etc, and that they won't approve every CVS request immediately. But IMHO they should approve requests when it's clear that the contributions are useful (and Thomas' are). And if it isn't clear, just send a short mail 'plz show us some more contributions'. Though this isn't necessary for Thomas :-) Otherwise, the danger is that people will stop doing so much effort, and switch to another project. Not everybody is that 'volhardend' (insistent?). This also counts for the installation of the manual-generator. I myself have spent hours finding out how to get it working, time I'd rather spent on the manual itself. I made an update for the win32 installation, but I'm currently still merging it with Thomas' additions (quite incompatible changes :-( ) > If something in MY contributed files isn't OK, tell me what wrong, so that I > can learn for the next time. This is the right attitude, anyone can make mistakes, and you only learn from them when someone points them out. > > I am currently checking the manuals.

For myself too counts: point me at my errors. > IN SHORT: > DO NOT COMPLETELY IGNORE EACH OF MY CONTRIBUTIONS ! Are there still any ignored ones? Since i've finally got a CVS account (after quite some emails), I can commit now... mail them to jeroen at a-es2 dot uu dot nl in that case. I'll merge your comments into array.xml, but if you would be so kind to already apply your updates and mail it to the list...

Yes! any contribution will help improve the documentation. I'll check and then commit your english contributions. For the german ones, you should check whether there is anyone at home over there...
