Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Documenting the Zend2 extension API
From: steph.fox@virgin.net ("Steph")

Gwynne, I'm not wanting to be nasty or anything, but:

a) Sara is totally expert in this area and you, as yet, are not

b) the reason that was ever needed at all is that the open source stuff 
needs work.

If you really want to make things easier for incomers, work on the open 
source documentation on php.net. Please. It needs serious attention.

If you just want glorification, forget it - one with far stronger 
credentials has gone before.

- Steph
