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! Regards, Lukas
