Re: [PHP-GTK] Status of PHP-GTK

Coding is really limping along just fine. Tonnes of people hate the 
docs, less than tonnes offer to help,  none of them actually do. Granted 
extra coders would help but patch writers are easier to come across than 
people actually willing to do the docs. And the coders can usually 
figure out what to do by knowing  GTK in C or by looking at the C GTK 
manual.

The PHP doc system i am sure is not going anywhere, and personally I 
like comments off, it is a manual not a wbe forum.  That is one of the 
things I hate the most about the actual PHP docs, especally when a new 
guy posts a code sample that is horrid and the next 20 posts are people 
saying "oh hay i made this better". I am not being bitter. Honest.
