Write documentation!
Write it in any format you like. I would suggest you take a look at the
PEAR:Db docs and model the quickforms docs around them. Send the file to
pear-doc@.
You may also want to take a look at phpdocumentator as it can generate a
good starting document for you if you want to dive into docbook.
I have still zero knowledge of docbook. However I just picked up the DB
docs, modified them to my needs, commited them, had the nice Philip look
over them and fix them and now my package has atleast some documentation
for the core features.
I heard the Quickform doc problem over and over. I hope that some people
in the end actually get it working for them. So please share and we
should have complete docs in no time!
