other ressources have figure out as meta data. While writing this mail I was pondering if this shouldnt actually be an XML database which can be used by any project in any language. People could then extract information as needed.

someone just asked me on IRC what I mean with "xml database" .. essentially I just mean a XML document that follows a specific structure so that it can be easily processed automatically to generate a manual, a php array that can easily be check inside your code or whatever someone else may find feasible. I am mostly soliciting some interested people here. I dont know how far we can and want to take this. Once we have a critical mass of motivated people we can see how we want to tackle this. I have plenty of technical ressources (wiki, mailinglists, storage etc) for this kind of project available (we have a dedicated box for all our opensource stuff now at BackendMedia which we are looking to put to good use!). regards, Lukas
