Jah@php.net does > not work... :( Oh, it works... But I must have missed/forgotten to reply the previous message you seem to refer to. Getting too much email nowadays, or maybe it was the system crash in March. So, to make it clear. I haven't been doing any documentation work lately, I don't have any claims to any intellectual property and I don't want to be an obstacle for the documentation team to change the license and to do whatever they see fit, so I hereby hand over every rights/copyrights I might have to what is nowadays the official PHP Doumentation Team. If you need something that's a bit more legalese, just write it, send it to me and I'll sign it up. -- Jouni
