Re: PECL Doc questions

There is very limited documentation for PECL extensions currently as far as I see. So I am not that much worried. We need to implement the extension categorization system (phpdoc/RFC/manual.xml) either with that markup or a different one, so the extensions will be easier to locate in the manual. The manual will not be 100MB if we include all the PECL extension docs (currently available in the PEAR manual). Goba

What will the functions reference look like? Or quickref? Is the index going to simply be a package search form? Like this: http://pecl.php.net/packages.php And what about the downloadable manuals, what will their indexes look like? And what size will they be, 100MB or more? There are already 314 PECL extensions and this number increases almost daily. I'm a little worried but maybe I'm [likely] missing something here. Downloads should be smaller somehow like only include bundled extensions. Not sure how to package the other ones but maybe they can be in their own downloadable manual. Ideally someone could simply "update" their downloaded manual like add the extensions they need but that doesn't sound like a simple task especially for the printable one-page manual or CHM. And just think how much more size all the user comments will add! My main point of worry here is dl size and what the indexes will look like, what's online or not isn't really a concern. People need downloads for various things like IDE integration, printing, going on a trip, etc. Regards, Philip
