Please educate me. www.php.net/urlhowto www.php.net/tips www.php.net/sidebars (extremely old page though, and very very hard to find) :) www.php.net/thanks www.php.net/support (guess thats the new 'help'?) The download section is missing www.php.net/download-docs and www.php.net/download-logos (or was that moved to community/logo maybe?) In an related note; http://no2.php.net/searchbar.php this is the first time I have ever seen this page :) > > http://www.whitelands.com/daniel/php/sitemap.html I'm unsure how I feel about having "get involved" under the "community" link. When I find a bug in a OSS project I am working with I tend to search the frontpage for something like "developers", "report a bug" or "get involved" or something along those lines, I don't think I'd expect the bugtracker link to be hidden away under "community" (isn't that usually aggregated blogs?). I would want an top-level "contribute" section, where I'd expect to find stuff like - http://no.php.net/svn.php - http://no.php.net/svn-php.php - http://no.php.net/mirroring.php (/mirroring-stats, /mirroring-troubles) - Links to bugs.php.net and wiki.php.net - And the (yet to be written) "how to contribute" pages. -Hannes
