Gabor,

Thank you for your vote of confidence. I appreciate how you and other
leaders in the PHP community have been forthright with your comments and
encouraging with your feedback. It has helped us improve our project
significantly. We will post the document today.

In an earlier message, you stated "If your redistribution meets are
licensing requirements and it is useable, then I don't think that we would
have a problem with linking to it on a prominent place." We would like to
follow through with your idea.

I understand the reluctance on taking on yet another project. With your
permission, we would like to perform this task for the PHP documentation
team. Because of changes to your documentation from our original parsing, we
had to re-write the PHP Parser. What took us one week 9 months ago only took
4 hours this time. Why not take advantage of our expertise? On an ongoing
basis, we would like to work with you to not only keep the content current,
but also offer additional translations (since the PHP Parser can handle
that). We could either provide you with the .jar file for users to download
directly or one could link to OSoft and pick up the content there like MySQL
does. Perhaps there is a place on the documentation downloads page?

Thanks again for all the support you have given our open source project.

Best regards,

Mark

I have just checked your updated version. Seems to me that you are now 
conforming to our documentation license, so I don't see a problem with 
you distributing the PHP Manual in this format. Since noone volunteered 
for dealing with the generation of this format on our end (and we have 
enough problems with existing formats we generate), I doubt we are going 
to take over the generation ourselfs.

Regards,
Gabor Hojtsy
