I have an old download of the notes, from the last year :)
It would be nice to think about some cool solution for
user note downloads for the CHM compiles. I used hu.php.net
(I have FTP access there), to get the user notes dump.
But as they are not in CVS, one needs to have FTP access to
a mirror, or rsync on his computer to get the notes. This
is not that ideal, considering, that the CHM compiler works
only on Windows, so the process is the most convinient there.

I rarely use user notes, so what I said about their usefullness
was based on CHM users input. You can read the user survey
we made here: http://www.weblabor.hu/php/newchm.php
There are many more comments, and advices for improvements
in the manual.
