Michael,

You are correct, this is a PHP implementation of Javadoc.  And, while it is
definitely a good tool for developer documentation, it also provides a good
frame work for Drew's docs team to start from when building end user
documentation.

Of course, this all hinges on devs commenting their code cleanly and
consistently.  End result:  This is a jumping off point, the docs team can
clean it up and make it sing for the n00bie.
