To all,

Congratulations are in order.

PHP5 is a monumental testament to open source.
More importantly, it's also a glowing example of what
software _can_ be when you have a dedicated group of
committed individuals who take pride in their work, even
when there isn't a paycheque or benefits package to
compensate for it.

My thanks to each and every one of you, the magnificent
doc team, and especially the core guys that have shlogged
on PHP all these years. PHP has and continues to supply me
with the tools I use every day to feed my family.

Humbly and sincerely, my thanks to you.
Nice stuff.

Best,

Mike Robinson

Hi,

I'd like to add to Mike's note and say that I especially appreciate and 
value the work of those doing documentation.

I really believe that PHP's easily available and thoroughly detailed 
docs has majorly contributed to its widespread usage. Is there anything 
comparable to php.net? I haven't come across anything better in the 
seven years or so that it has been serving as an online manual. It is to 
the credit of the PHP team for the way they have promoted such an 
integrated system of documenting PHP. That is what allows things like 
knowing exactly what version is applicable to a function, extensive 
cross-referencing, and being up-to-date on the most recent changes, 
among other things.


Thank you.

Hello PHPers,

  On behalf of all 19 of us here at IonZoft, I'd like to add to this
  letter by saying thank you for providing the *excellent* tool that
  allows us to make our livelihood this way.

  PHP 5.0 is a unparalleled release of not only PHP, not only open
  source, but of great software in general.  There's nothing else
  like it out there.

  Keep it up, we appreciate it!
