I will talk to the author about committing the changes to the
documentation. I know he (and we) are very interested in sharing the
enhanced version of the docs, I'm just not sure of his availability to
commit the changes himself. What would our next step be if he does have
time? I'm also happy to help, so perhaps he and I could both help. And
just so I'm clear, there are no issues with us publishing the enhanced
version of the docs with his book (we definitely will be encouraging
people to check the official docs for the most up-to-date information,
of course).
Thanks,
Beth

Is there any certain person in charge of the SPL documentation? We are
publishing an SPL book, and the author spent a lot of time going through and
updating the existing documentation with in-depth explanations and examples. I
wanted to talk with someone about getting this information into the online SPL
docs, if that's of interest to them, and see what their thoughts are about us
publishing this enhanced version of the documentation (because we do not want
to overstep and publish anything that shouldn't be published if it's too close
to the existing documentation that was written by someone else).
Greetings Beth,
The manual is open to all and doesn't really have maintainers for specific
parts.
Your plan sounds great as a win-win for everyone. Ideally the author would
commit the SPL changes so would you like to pursue that option? It'd mean
gaining SVN access and making the commits. If you'd rather not do that
and/or would prefer sharing non-DocBook suggestions then I (or anyone else)
could help you do that. Etienne and Peter are our resident SPL experts
though so they would make a better choice than me :)
Whatever the case, let's move this to the PHP Documentation list.
Regards,
Philip
