what we need is a comprehensive reference site. Then simple enquiries would not come to this mailing
list. Anyone who has used the php.net site would agree what a wonderful and clear resource that is.
Rarely now do I look a set of functions without picking up their uses rapidly - this is clearly the
model to look to. What gtk.php.net needs is a team of programmers to write a reference manual
covering each widget, fucntion, method, property ect - all with clear, easy to understand examples
and obviously a good navigation scheme. For those of you that have useed Delphi then think along
those lines. When I'm using pure php I have the offical site there all the time - it is an
essential resource for me. With PHP-GTK I am often bouncing around all corners of the web. So how
about an offically organised team which will produce manual pages, review \ correct others work and
a further small team to direct it. Tutorials are good within their limitations but to unleash the
true power of PHP-GTK we need a definitive reference source. So how about it? I'd be willing to
donate time every week to it - any other takers?

i could write you an app and a tutorial. I write php for a living and
have built several enterprise level apps in php-gtk.
I could come up with a scaled down version of one of them to show how
php-gtk can be used in the real world.
Question is though can we host it somewhere on gtk.php.net as i don't
believe that a bunch of tutorials spread all over the net is very
useful. Unfortunately though I don't speak xml either.
I'm thinking about a simple warehouse application (as that's what I know
best), would that be too specific for most people?
