[Proposal] Highlighting *.php.net Projects

Dear Webmasters, I'd like to propose a new feature for php.net. In the last few days I've been thinking over how php.net doesn't really give much exposure to its sub-projects - these being PEAR, PECL, GTK and Smarty. I would like to organise the production of a set of short articles for php.net highlighting each of these projects. One article for each. I've already bounced the idea around with a few other people and Messju Mohr (messju@php.net) and Pierre Alain Joye (paj@php.net) have expressed an interest in writing an article on Smarty (Messju), PEAR and PECL (Both pierre). I will also be talking to some people about writing a GTK one as soon as I can. Though I've had little time to hash out the format, I think it should cover things like: - What it is - Where it is - Who it is (not sure about this one, for PEAR/PECL theres too many people) - How to get started - How to get help - How to contribute Whilst this stuff is covered (at least in part) elsewhere, I feel it would give each project some needed exposure to the masses, whilst collating it all in a common format for each project in one place. I think one article every month would be good - and if a link to the article could be put up and kept in place for the interim period between articles it would give everybody a chance to read it and give the exposure I feel necessary. This is all just ideas right now, but with people already willing to do 3 out of 4 articles and myself willing to organise it, I think it could easily be done if you are willing. - Davey
