http://docs.php.net/manual/en/intro.spl.php links to
http://www.php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/ which does not reflect SPL in
5.3.
And since we have RC, more and more people start to test it and they
need newer docs.

I believe, that it's time to regenerate SPL's doxygen-docs.

p.s. let's skip holywars about "official" spl-docs. that's a separate topic.

Regeneration is really needed.

There've been a couple of changes in some classes.
Currently I'm using new added SplObjectStorage functionality and I
have to keep looking at source for available methods. Not a bad
thing... I'm feeling comfortable with C already, but some users may be
angry.


Cheers,

I mentioned on twitter that proper docs would be useful too, let's see 
if anybody writes to the doc list.

FYI: A *bunch* of SPL stuff has been documented in the last few
months, even some of the PHP5.3.0 classes like
http://docs.php.net/manual/en/class.filesystemiterator.php

Just tell me what I need to do, and I will write the SPL docs
What format do they need to be in. What program is used to make them etc
and how to commit them.

As Hannes earlier posted then follow the general HOWTO guide:
http://wiki.php.net/doc/scratchpad/howto

For building and testing the documentation you will find how to build
using PhD here:
http://wiki.php.net/doc/phd

Any questions can be asked at phpdoc [at] lists.php.net
