Goba,
Thanks for getting back to me so soon. We need your help in a couple of
areas.
We believe the PHP documentation is covered under your GPL but we just
wanted to make sure it was ok to deliver it, unaltered, in the ThoutTReader
format.
We have already converted PHP 4.0 into the ThoutTReader format and it is
ready to load. We have written scripts that will convert PHP 5.0 into the
ThoutTReader format in a matter of minutes once the documentation is
released. The same holds true for any other documentation you wish to
convert.
We need a point of contact to provide the PHP 4.0 documentation (.JAR file)
to with a short description of the ThoutTReader. Note: The ThoutTReader
easily supports multiple languages.
Finally, we will also link back to PHP.net from the PHP section of our
website. Please check it out at www.osoft.com/store. This site will be
activated and all content loaded just prior to the OS Convention.
Regards,
Mark

What would you need from us?
