I think 'getting started' should be left alone, it is quite good for a
beginner to start. If you look a bit closely at 'features' though, it
is the exact place where tutorials are located already. We agreed on it
before AFAIR that extension specific tutorials should go into their
reference part, while broader scope tutorials or core tutorials should
go into 'features'. Now we can rename it to 'PHP Programming
Techniques' or something more flashy, but I think it is the right place
to push tutorials into (except the getting started tutorial).
Derek: 'reference' should be very far from being confused with
'tutorial' IMHO!

No, getting started is for beginners and they should be able to get to
this page as fast as possible by just clicking "next" link or by
looking at Table of Contents. Being good attractor for newbies "Getting
Started" should be located at the top of ToC and visible by default.
"Language Reference" is too dull to reflect how clear and easy PHP is.

I believe we should rename Getting Started to Tutorials (or something
similar and relevant), and move it below Language Reference. The
introduction section of Getting Started should be moved to the
beginning of the Language Reference section. This seems to fit best.
Right now 'Getting Started' is an oddball.

I disagree. I think a lot of that content was added because there was
no other good place for it.
It would be nice to get some feedback from Goba!

We should not move anything from other sections that currently have a
"home" just because a new tutorial is being added. Eg, the things in
the security section need to stay there. We can either reiterate the
points mentioned, or link to the chapters containing the information.

I suggest features.safe-mode should also be added to this (how it
works, what it does [,when you should use it])
