Re: what is going on with gtk.php.net?

The following was sent to the NYPHP users group mailing list, it is the largest PHP users group in the world (and I go to meetings...) Hopefully it will bring in some new people to the mailing list, as well as bring in tutorials etc. ---------------------------------- Subject: A call for all PHP'ers, the gtk.php.net site needs your help. Hello there, Yesterday I sent a msg to the php-gtk-general mailing list (which I am on) about the state of the PHP-GTK site and the fact that their wiki got slammed with spam and difficulties in actually using the php-gtk site. Here is the thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108991553900001&r=1&w=2 There is a call for people with web skills to help work on gtk.php.net and help with documentation and get the search functions working. My original posting is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-gtk-general&m=108991553813451&w=2 If you have written any php-gtk apps we could use your help in tutorials and they are looking for more people to document, write apps etc.. I invite you *all* to join the 'general' mailing list, more info here: http://gtk.php.net/resources.php In addition on freenode.net in #php-gtk A lot of this push is because of the release of PHP5 and a lot of renewed interest in PHP-GTK. Part of the problems is that the php-gtk documentation is not currently well and a lot of people have not put up tutorials and apps on the gtk.php.net site. They are trying to pull everything back to have a central site of information for writing php-gtk apps. If you are not familiar with php-gtk, you can do some pretty cool stuff with it, I have a tutorial here: http://lucifer.intercosmos.net/tut/ and another here: http://lucifer.intercosmos.net/phpgtk/ There are a lot of apps out, but the documentation has been an issue in bringing in new programmers. I was also asked to do a presentation at the new meeting on php-gtk in september based on my first php-gtk tutorial, though I don't know the status of that as I may be in Ireland for an RDF conference. Thanks.
