Couple of "rules" :) - Please do not top-post (makes the post hard to read) - Always CC the mailinglist (phpdoc@lists.php.net) - Preferably tell your mail client to wrap lines after ~80 chars On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 19:35, Ruslan Yakushev <ruslany@microsoft.com> wrote: > Hi Hannes, > > I have written and have been maintaining all the PHP related documentation on > http://php.iis.net/.

Its however a great idea to make it its own generic section in the top-level-install guide. As for the download section in the article, the notes and links to zend platform are inappropriate for the manual The phpBB sections are obviously out-of-scope for the PHP manual. > 6.

There is a slight information overlap with the previous chapter. If you chunk it out into "best practices" (or something) and cross link it.. I think that would be awesome. > What do you think?

Once you have "something to show for it" (i.e. patches) you can request for an SVN access and documentation karma at http://php.net/svn-php (make sure you read the page carefully, especially the form questions). > 2.

Everyone with php.net (SVN) account has access to it. -Hannes
