Hello Lukas,
However - it would probably also be a good idea to make a user submitted examples section or something like that for the most lazy developers..
I will second this suggestion, because I knew this from Agilent VEE, where user contributed examples where shipped out with the full version.

Because it is not a feature request and dumb users like me are either too lazy to contribute to stale closed community or don't have a proper amount of imagination to draw association between Feature Request and Example. It can be my only IMHO, but (RFE != Example for existing feature).
Stale? Closed? Are you trying to be a troll?
He's not trolling. Anyone "outside" PEAR knows exactly what he means; hell, some of us "inside" PEAR know what he means. When you get "if you want docs then you write them, this is open source" it's not exactly a friendly invitation to join the party.
Actuallly he was trolling. But we all know that we seem to need guys like you and Anatoly to stick their fingers where it hurts. However in this particular case I tend to believe that I feel no pain when someone tells me he sees no connection between the wish to add an example that is ready in source and a feature request form. Have I become numb or is this du..? (sorry couldnt resist the rhyme) regards, Lukas
