Re: note 8398 added to PHP Manual

I think I was not fully clear :) I don't want it for the notes that are in it now, but to run the search and annotate-system locally so that I, and the students, can enter notes and annotations ourselves for later review. I like the manual-engine as on the live site and the added functionality it provides... But I guess the source-tarball of the live manual site is not available?
