RE: REVISION COMPLETE: Thout Reader Update and Link on PHP

Gabor, Thank you for your vote of confidence. I appreciate how you and other leaders in the PHP community have been forthright with your comments and encouraging with your feedback. It has helped us improve our project significantly. We will post the document today. In an earlier message, you stated "If your redistribution meets are licensing requirements and it is useable, then I don't think that we would have a problem with linking to it on a prominent place." We would like to follow through with your idea. I understand the reluctance on taking on yet another project. With your permission, we would like to perform this task for the PHP documentation team. Because of changes to your documentation from our original parsing, we had to re-write the PHP Parser. What took us one week 9 months ago only took 4 hours this time. Why not take advantage of our expertise? On an ongoing basis, we would like to work with you to not only keep the content current, but also offer additional translations (since the PHP Parser can handle that). We could either provide you with the .jar file for users to download directly or one could link to OSoft and pick up the content there like MySQL does. Perhaps there is a place on the documentation downloads page? Thanks again for all the support you have given our open source project. Best regards, Mark Mark D. Carey President OSoft, Inc. 253-284-0475 mcarey@osoft.com 2511 South Hood Street Tacoma, WA 98402 I have just checked your updated version. Seems to me that you are now conforming to our documentation license, so I don't see a problem with you distributing the PHP Manual in this format. Since noone volunteered for dealing with the generation of this format on our end (and we have enough problems with existing formats we generate), I doubt we are going to take over the generation ourselfs. Regards, Gabor Hojtsy
