Great work... and your English level is a lot better than you think it is, it reads like it was written by a native English speaker :-) Because I am an annoying pedant, though, I cannot resist the urge to point out that it is spelled "appreciated". A C that makes an S sound when spoken is always single. A reasonable rule of thumb (although it's English so I'm sure there are many exceptions because we like to make things difficult) is that any word that begins with an "ap" sound will be spelled with a double P, unless the P is followed by another hard consonant. A notable exception to this rule is a number of words beginning with "appl" - maybe it not such a great rule or thumb :-( On a more on-topic note...

It should be simple work. Is the plan for this to render this as HTML and publish it on doc.php.net when we are happy to "release" it? I fully support the motion to unify this information into one place and burn the rest, but I would like to suggest that it be published on wiki.php.net (obviously doc.php.net can link to it). The main reason for this is that it will make it easier to contribute - anyone who has anything useful to add will already have a php.net account and so will already have the necessary permissions to edit it. Running it through git makes the system a lot more complex and runs the risk of becoming yet another repo with people attempting to contribute but trivial PRs sit outstanding for weeks/months at a time. The aim is to simplify, my vote would be to adhere to KISS on this as much as possible. Thoughts?
