Hi! Anyone that wants to champion the task of improving the user notes should and would no doubt be welcomed/helped by everyone here, and be appreciated by the entire PHP community. There have been several discussions but they have fizzled out while thinking about this overwhelming task. Most related threads are linked from here: https://wiki.php.net/ideas/usercomments It also includes (links to) details about how the current system works. And while thinking about this, keep in mind that we have 100+ mirrors that rsync the notes although creative thinking might be able to improve how that works. So while we all have different interpretations of what user notes are for, we all can agree that people love examples. So focusing on that sounds like a good idea, as does introducing the large and helpful PHP community into the QA process. Implementing tags/categories with voting sounds about right, although voting isn't a trivial topic. Regards, Philip
