Perhaps a good idea here would be to have some sort of a function
documentation tracking project.. I have been doing a hell of a lot of PHP
programming lately, and I'd be willing to put in the time to get something
like this up and going (the idea would be that you could submit
comments/information on specific functions, then there could be a list of
links to those functions on another page, so that people could easily find
what others have contributed about that function). As well, I guess there
could be some sort of general overview section (I'm not clear at this time
how that'd work).
Anyhow, that's my 2c. If someone wants me to do this, I have a machine to
host it on, and I'd be willing to put in the time to develop this. Just
send me an email and/or gimme a holler on the list about ideas, etc.
