Yes, I agree with you. Everybody think that coding extensions is better than writing the docs. I do prefer developing the PHP core than just writing documentation, but this is a necessary task. Developpers write the app, but if there is no documentation, nobody will know how to use it. The developpers should write the docs themselves (I'm asking too much, I know...) Now I'm putting my efforts in the documentation and when we finish documenting everyting (my dream...) I'll also move myself to internals. > Given the huge tasks around documenting new PHP 5 features, changes, > moving PECL docs into phpdoc, etc. more people is always needed.

This is great! I couldn't attract anyone here in Portugal because there isn't much people working in PHP and the others haven't discovered the Linux yet :) Let's see if you can "hire" some more persons, because I'm the only guy that is documenting PHP 5 now. I need help. SPL, Tidy, ... are waiting. Hopefully PHP 5 will take some more time to be released!.. Nuno
