Tutorials and docs are all dandy and stuff, but if they are not linked
from the manual then they become somewhat waste of resources, which leads
to the next point, more often then not we have some nice tutorials out
there but are not mentioned in the PEAR docs thus making it harder for
other people to find :/
I know some doc people have been trying to solve this by placing links
they stumble upon into the manual, but maybe we should not keep this in
the manual ?
Maybe we could do something like a "Link" section under each package,
where there would be some categories, "Resources" "Tutorials" and
something like that, which could be dynamically added (which would make it
more user-friendly for none doc people) instead of the waiting for PEAR
doc to compile.
Now this is just a idea to another approach and I know this topic has been
discussed but still I think it needs more discussion.
Any comments, flames ?
