I would also ask about something that was floating around today: looking at the current state of the php manual, there's (since php5) quite a lot of code that hasn't been documented in a standardized way yet. SPL is one of these (if you don't look at Marcus' SPL documentation), but there are definitely some other small areas that could benefit from a better documentation. Would there be interest in a TestFest-like PHP DocFest initiative, to improve the php manual? The entry barrier is quite low too with documentation writing, so a lot of people could help out with this. What's your ideas on this?I personally think this is an excellent idea. From the success of the PHP TestFest I think we can come to the conclusion that there is a definite interest in improving PHP itself (as compared to open source projects within PHP). And similar to the TestFest, there aren't a lot of preparations needed for organizing such an event. Stefan
