I'm not quite sure WHY this message appeared under my thread, but since it's there, I'll contribute to it:
All of you : Everyone of you can commercialize the PHP-knowledge he/she gained directly or indirectly through this "global public domain project". Either you earn money with php-programming, or you earn money with teaching, training and consulting. Or you earn money with books and articles. Whichever way you chose, you always contribute to the globalization of PHP. Andreas : Pure Idealism is surely not your motivation of writing about "your experiences". Would you agree on sponsoring the next German php-conventions? Doing so, you could contribute to the global php-project. .. just an idea .. Marc "Mab" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hallo Friedhelm, ich möchte mich einmal persönlich an Sie wenden bzgl. der deutschsprachigen Referenzliste in meinen Buch, welches ich zu veröffentlichen zu gedenke. Zunächsteinmal möchte ich ihnen sagen, dass es für mich selbstverständlich ist, zuerst mit dem oder den Autoren Verbindung aufzunehmen, deren Unterlagen ich verwenden möchte, aus dem einfachen Grunde, weil ich die Arbeit anderer respektiere, auch wenn es sich um OpenSource Projekte handelt. Ich bin ein großer Anhängervon PHP, Eurer Sache und Eurer Community. Ich habe schon hunderten von Interessierten den Umgang mit PHP nahegebracht, und viele von Ihnen wenden es heute erfolgreich an. Also Sie sehen, ich arbeite hart für die Verbreitung dieser Skriptsprache. In meinem Fall geht es nicht darum, dass ich mich mit fremden Feder schmücken möchte, also einfach Eure Arbeit abdrucken möchte, vielmehr geht es mir darum meine Erfahrungen mit PHP und PHP Listings von mir in einem Buch niederzuschrieben. Zu den Themen die ich behandelt habe, möchte ich eine vollständige Referenzliste mitveröffentlichen, die dann entsprechend dem Buch angepasst ist. Ich bin ebenfalls bereit an Eurer Dokumentation mitzuarbeiten, ja sogar bereit, die Referenz zu den Themen die ich oben angeführt habe, und die ich in meinem Buch (angepasst) veröffentliche,Euch zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ich würde Ihnen (Euch) sehr verbunden sein, wenn Sie dem Vorschlag zustimmen könnten.
