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.

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!..
