I'd like to be involved with that as well; I'd love to help with PHP development but I don't have enough time to really be helpful (not to mention that I'm not exactly the world's largest fan of C). Whereas I do end up looking things up in the PHP manual and noticing problems or a regular basis. Maybe we could work with the doc team to give some people editorial access for comments? I think a quick trip through the php-general archives and the FAQ/KB listings would turn up some knowledgeable candidates who could be trusted for this sort of thing. Chris
