This is an FAQ, not an intro. IMHO we have many info in the language reference section about the language, we just need to write up some small intro first, starting with tut.php. I think the intro part is not the right place to write things like the Zend Intro to PHP (link on tut.php), because we do not need duplicates of control structures, variables, types descriptions... IMHO it would be nice to have a small intro part (though bigger than the current what is php) first. One more thing I missed is WS fixes :) As we move the files, change some major docbook tags, its just the time to fix all WS problems in those files (tab -> spaces) and indent XML from the 0. column. Now the files are just breakups of the install.xml content, so eg. XML tags are indented with two spaces first in eg. install.unix.xml Goba
