NYCPHP Meetup

[Joel De Gan]

Hello there,
Yesterday I sent a msg to the php-gtk-general mailing list (which I am
on) about the state of the PHP-GTK site and the fact that their wiki got
slammed with spam and difficulties in actually using the php-gtk site.

Here is the thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108991553900001&r=1&w=2

There is a call for people with web skills to help work on gtk.php.net
and help with documentation and get the search functions working.

My original posting is here:

If you have written any php-gtk apps we could use your help in tutorials
and they are looking for more people to document, write apps etc..

I invite you *all* to join the 'general' mailing list, more info here:
http://gtk.php.net/resources.php
In addition on freenode.net in #php-gtk

A lot of this push is because of the release of PHP5 and a lot of
renewed interest in PHP-GTK. Part of the problems is that the php-gtk
documentation is not currently well and a lot of people have not put up
tutorials and apps on the gtk.php.net site. They are trying to pull
everything back to have a central site of information for writing
php-gtk apps.

If you are not familiar with php-gtk, you can do some pretty cool stuff
with it, I have a tutorial here:
http://lucifer.intercosmos.net/tut/
and another here:
http://lucifer.intercosmos.net/phpgtk/
There are a lot of apps out, but the documentation has been an issue in
bringing in new programmers.

I was also asked to do a presentation at the new meeting on php-gtk in
september based on my first php-gtk tutorial, though I don't know the
status of that as I may be in Ireland for an RDF conference.

Thanks.
