I was reading the documentation above, and while I
don't think it's as great as many PHP-heads do, I do
think it's probably the best documentation I've seen
for an OSS project.

PHP, despite having numerous problems, is probably the
predominant web development environment at this time.
I like to think that having an articulate manual
spreads good software. Anyone have any other Friday
"docs save the day" style war stories?
