php_manual_$LANG.$FORMAT, people downloading the manual can
easily identify, what manual it is, what language it is in,
and what is the format. Now:manual.tar.gz
wont help you identify what manual is this, or in what
language is it...
>Another thing is the directories containing on-lineRight (unfortunately :). Since splitting up only to the main-parts doesn't seem to be a solution for long (most files are from the funcref which is the most growing part), and the TOC for the Funcref doesn't provide also a great overview anymore:

So if it is a problem for ext2, it is urgently need to be
fixed, as then is it not unzipable in most users environments...
What do you think about inserting a new chapter-level into the function-feference, e.g.
core-functions (array, filesystem, etc.),
database-functions (msql, etc.),
payment-functions (ccvs, cybercash, ),
etc.
OR, even it's not that far splitting:
Common functions,
Windows only-functions,
*nix only functions
----------------------------------------------------------------Right, and since I don't know the Nexen-structure:
Also we can decide if we want to produce "short" type of
manuals, as people do at Nexen. This way we can pack a small
compressed file with the most important functions and extensions,
and left off the less used ones. It would be popular IMHO.The biggest deal in this is who will decide, what are the
most used functions, and how can we make this short type
without any make errors (as there will be internal links
pointing to nowhere - into the part we left out).
What's the relation between the No. of downloads?
I could imagine that most people think "I want it all".
