Ideally this means: 1. Create a FAQ about: - What the heck this is - Why we care - Why we might disable it 2. Document via the following: - http://php.net/zend.enable-gc - http://php.net/gc-collect-cycles - http://php.net/gc-disable - http://php.net/gc-enable - http://php.net/gc-enabled 3. Said volunteer(s) can do either: - Commit to the docs - Write a plain old text file with the information, send to phpdoc@lists.php.net - Discuss the topic of GC within this thread Regards, Philip
