Hello everyone,
This began as a simple note updating everyone with what was talked
about in IRC last weekish but now includes a weekly account of
[hopefully] everything and will evolve. If you have ideas or
suggestions or complaints then please mention them. And if something
is forgotten, write about it.
* Things talked about last week in #php.doc on IRC:
- We should keep the list up-to-date with what we talk about
on IRC as the list is our official method for communication
whereas IRC is casual.
- The parts of PhD: http://doc.php.net/wiki/phd
- Use of the wiki, and that Philip will implement our @php.net
auth system into it:
http://doc.php.net/wiki/
- Nobody wants to deal with cygwin+build magic so we'll
instead focus on PhD and leave make/autoconf as is for Win
users until then.
- We need better _GET related documentation for newbies.
Current:
http://php.net/variables.external
http://php.net/manual/tutorial.forms
- A mirror having sqlite installed affects our links.
For example:
http://php.net/http.httpmessage
http://php.net/manual/http.HttpMessage.php
http://php.net/manual/http.httpmessage.php
If sqlite is installed, the first one will work. The last
one never does.
- Our build system holds people back but PhD will save us.
- It was revealed that my php3 removal patch was deleted due
to user error (I deleted that phpdoc checkout). :(
- That we need more Jakub's in the world to close bugs, and we
miss Mehdi.
* People who recently received commit access:
- Simion Onea - A phpdoc-ro translator who often reported
bugs in en/ so thankfully he'll now work on both.
- Paul Reinheimer - Involved in the PHP community already, but
now a member of the php.net party.
- Zaenal Mutaqin - Will work on the Indonesian translation.
* A few other notes:
- Mailing list split. CVS commits now go to doc-cvs@, Doc bugs
to doc-bugs@, and general communication remains at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- A move towards Dave's configure.php from autoconf although
this is not yet complete mainly due to people not wanting to
mess with the Windows+Cygwin magic. Hannes has recently
installed Windows and is trying. :)
- All 12 pending doc account requests were written on Sept.12
with one response so far.
- PhD (the new build system) has its own bug category now.
Regards,
Philip
