(Not too mention once I finish this php-gtk app I am working on, I will be rebuilding it in mono as well as much of my work is heading to mono for a lot of reasons not connected to php-gtk) > Still, I think I'm seeing a quickly renewed interest in PHP-GTK since > the release of PHP 5.0.0.

This is very important, php-gtk does not "sell" itself very well right now. And no matter how cool it is and what we can do with it, if people look at the site and get confused and cannot find things then it is not doing it's job (for an example: www.mono-project.com does a *very* good job of explaining the product and selling a developer on it). And in response to a previous comment about connect() being a function, yes.. Then why does it not show up on a manual search on the site? That was my entire point, figuring out how to simply find it requires going offsite from what I and others can tell anyway. > I'm willing to help keep the Web site updated. Just let me know what to do. Again, I would be happy to work on documention here and there. Point the way.
