So, if you don't mind, could you send those patches to the list for us to take a gander over and we can move from there? > > I've been developing PHP applications for many years, and manage a team of > developers who use PHP daily.  The manual is critical to our success, and > I'm also a stickler for good documentation.  Every now and then I run across > things that could do with a better explanation or aren't documented > thoroughly enough and I'd like to help when I can. > > I set up a build of the manual today, learned a bit of docbook and made two > patches to the curl_setopt page, so I'm ready to go!  (As a result I'd like > to update the page "The quicky", > > http://doc.php.net/php/dochowto/article.thequicky.exceptions.php , > which > contains a small mistake.) Looks like you're off to a flying start. As I said above, if we could see those patches that would be great. Also if you have any quicky questions that you mightn't want to bother the list with then do join us on IRC if you haven't already: irc.efnet.org#php.doc > > Cheers, > Patrick van Staveren > http://trick.vanstaveren.us/ > > >
