Hi Gwynne, I give you kudos for the amount of work and quality you've put into that proposal. As a newcomer, I must say I had headaches with the actual documentation build system and I'm pleased someone is at the task of completly refactoring it. I've read the proposition and must say I'm impressed.

This message is being re-sent without attachment as it seems several people did not receive it the first time. For some time now, the IRC channel for PHP documentation has been buzzing with talk of all the myriad problems and drawbacks of both 1) the current doc buildsystem, and 2) livedocs. I got my dander up about it one night and drew up a formal proposal document describing in detail a completely new, from-scratch system to replace the nightmarish hacks that exist right now. The latest version of the proposal is available live at <http://phpdoc.gwynne.dyndns.org/ Buildsystem-proposal.pdf>, and I have attached the most recent revision (as of tonight) to this message as well. Comments and votes are definitely wanted (especially on the "what's the name of the system" debate described in the proposal). The goal of the initial proposal is to gather enough support for the idea to have our own CVS module created to work within, as well as attendant mailing list and anything else deemed necessary. Not mentioned in the proposal document at the moment, but important, is the fact that this system is intended for general use both inside and outside PHP. -- Gwynne, Daughter of the Code "This whole world is an asylum for the incurable."
