RE: PHP website

Per your request, please allow me to explain my earlier message. My partner, Gary Varnell, and I have been working for over a year to develop an Open Source tool (called Thout(tm) Reader) that would establish a standardized training platform through which Open Source referenceware, training content and code can be delivered. We wanted to let you know that we have nearly completed our project and let you know how it might impact PHP developers. The Thout(tm) Solution: There are no standardized tools for Open Source training and reference content retrieval. PDF, CHM, POD, and HTML formats are all common formats. Working in independent, multiple formats is frustrating to developers who are faced with different ways to find and retrieve information. We figured, what if there were one standard format for Perl, Linux, MySQL, Php, etc. that would allow you to search, bookmark, and append content across programs, all in one format? We took all of the free referenceware for these great OS programs and converted it into the Thout Reader format. Our program will be available absolutely free and will be widely distributed over the Internet. We would like to get listed on your PHP website (reason for the initial inquiry) and discuss with you other possible implementation and uses for the Reader. For example, we also created some powerful Creator tools that would allow a developer or author to create NEW content in the Thout Reader format. There are many excellent books about PHP on the market. We have the ability to convert existing or new materials into our extensible format and distribute them for about the cost one would expect to pay for a book. We are currently using an early beta release of our product for PHP referenceware. Looking up and book marking key expressions is a snap! Understandably, the PHP website does not provide contact information to establish direct dialogue. I would appreciate hearing back from you so discuss how we can work together in early 2004 when our product is ready for launch. Thank you for you time, Mark Carey P.S. - We are also making similar inquiries with Perl, Apache, Linux, and MySQL. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Mark D.
