Hi,
While I like the fact that you show such a nice initiative, I completely
second the opinion of Kimmo.
Every serious PHP user knows about www.php.net, and uses it as a primary
source of information about the API/installation/etc.
Why do you want to start a new community if we already have so many?
If you want to contribute to PHP, many possibilities exists, like giving
usercomments on functions at php.net.
If you want to write serious articles about certain problems, and how you
solve them, I am sure one of the existing sites will be happy to publish
them (if they are any good of course).
ZEND-site publishes good articles too.
What did Marvin (The HitchHikers Guide) say?
"Life... dreadfull. Please don't invent any more of it."
or something along those lines. ;-)

Erwin Moller
