Yep. My new editor at Sams has agreed to allow me to integrate my
material from the PHP Functions Essential Reference into the PHP
documentation. This should mean that when we work on the second
edition, we can do a full review of the major extensions of the
manual.
Cool ;)
Hrm. Maybe we could use the work in the PHP Function Essential
Reference as the starting point for a new set of docs? At the publish
date, it covered a large portion of PHP.
This would avoid the licensing issues. People who have already
contributed to the documentation could take their specific sections
and recommit them to the new docs - even though they contributed to a
GPL-licensed work, they still own copyright on their own work.
Well, I think starting off with the new contents is not a good idea. First it will be a long time to complete the DocBook version, second thw user notes on pages will go useless, as they relate to the current documentation and not the book's text. So I think if we can use the contents the other way round, then it would be much better for our users, and for ourselfs too.
