Well, sending your mails only to me was quite a bad idea at the first place. I was away in Antwerp/Brussels at FOSDEM when you have written the first mail to me, then I got home and was busy with organizing the Hungarian PHP Conference, which is just finished, and we are still busy with the stuff we need do after the conf (publishing slides, collecting news reports about the conf etc). I have just had some time to add a paragraph having a link to your phpdoc download page on our doc download page. Goba
