What do you mean by so often? This list seems to be fairly new. The first one I see in the archives was early November and there appear to be a total of 4 of them since then. The first one? lol!

These mails have been auto-sent for *years*. The first one I can find (in a quick search of the archives) was from 2002, which is over 11 years ago. So it seems to be either on a weekly

or bi-weekly basis, as far as I can tell. I also find that it serves as a good reminder that people on the documentation team (all of whom have notes Karma) aren't moderating the user contributed notes, nearly often enough. It's just a bit of stats, it gives a good overview of which pages in the manual are most "problematic" for users. Pages with a lot of notes apparently "lack" clear documentation, otherwise people would not bother posting so many additions.

I remember in the past, for a very long time, the setcookie and header pages were at the top of this list. At some point, the docs were rewritten to provide a lot more information, the notes were cleared, and since then those pages haven't gotten back up into this last. So now we have a different set of pages that we should have a good look at and maybe think about what to change / add. - Tul --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
