About cvs: you only need a very basic knowledge and a few commands. Its not too hard;-) You are always welcome to help with the german trans, you can also ask for help on the german list: phpdoc-de@lists.php.net > I donŽt really see the point, why is there no webclient based on a MySQL > DB?

Their might be a channel somewhere?, but for now refer to http://www.php.net/manual/howto/ and get in touch with phpdoc-de@lists.php.net. I am pretty sure you will get the help you are asking for. But please, read the mentioned howto;-)) > I can search for others, who are interested as well and start a > help-channel or something.
