API Documentation Generation

Dear PEAR Developers, Please allow me to introduce myself first: I'm Mike van Riel and am the Lead Developer of DocBlox (http://www.docblox-project.org), which is a Documentation Generation Application inspired by phpDocumentor. At the past Dutch PHP Conference I had the pleasure of talking to Helgi and demonstrating DocBlox to him. During this demonstration it became apparent that DocBlox might have added value for PEAR2 and/or PEAR1. As such I wanted to approach you to see whether you are interested in using it? You can see a demonstration at http://demo.docblox-project.org/pear . I am available to create a template for both PEAR and PEAR2 (or assist with its creation). What DocBlox can offer is: * Faster and less memory intensive processing of the source code. Zend Framework has reduced their build time from 80 - 100 minutes down to 5 to 10 minutes. * Incremental processing; if you keep the intermediate file then parsing speed can decrease with another 80% (transformation speed is unchanged). * Full support for PHP 5.3 (also works on PHP 5.2.6+ but can't process 5.3 projects then). * An active project with a new release with new improvements every month. * Backwards compatible with phpDocumentor DocBlock syntax and forwards compatible with new features (i.e. @api tag support). If you'd like you can view the source code at http://github.com/mvriel/docblox I am interested to hear your feedback! Thanks in advance, Mike van Riel
