RE: [PHP-GTK] what is going on with gtk.php.net?

Rhys, that's what the manual's supposed to be there for, and you're more than welcome to put some time into improving it - particularly if you're good with xsl and docbook (see all the reasons in my previous mail), but even if you're not. The difference is that php.net has over 200 people working on the documentation project. We have something closer to 4, two of whom are hoping I'm going to sort out the build system (again) some time this century. > -----Original Message----- > From: Rhys Campbell [mailto:rhys.campbell@da-systems.co.uk] > Sent: 16 July 2004 09:12 > To: PHP-GTK Mailing List (E-mail) > Subject: RE: [PHP-GTK] what is going on with gtk.php.net? > > > what we need is a comprehensive reference site.
