Hi, folks. I wanted to (re)introduce myself.
I’m Rich Bowen. Long, long ago, I was a prolific php docs contributor. Then life moved on, and I
have been absent for a long time. I’m also a committer on the Apache httpd project, where I have
been a fairly active contributor to the docs for going on 30 years. And I used to be a regular in
the php conference tour. But I think a lot of my older colleagues have moved on. It’s exciting to
see a new generation of people here working on stuff.
I ran into so some old PHP friends at FOSSY this week, from a similar ancient time, and I was
looking at the docs. It appears that reality has moved on from some of the docs, in particular the
docs around installation on the Apache httpd. That, in turn, got me looking at some of the
surrounding docs.
Anyways, I’ve opened a few PRs, and am rediscovering how the docs system fits together, and how to
build and test my contributions. I’ve greatly appreciated the comments of reviewers.
Anyways, hopefully you’ll see more of me around here, if I can find time.
