Do you expect to be there because of the 100 commit advisory rule we had while setting up the initial list?
I don't expect to be anywhere, I would like to be on the list.
I have seen you being celebrated your 100th commit. Note that as you can find out in the archives, this rule is not going to be used anymore, to prevent misuse of the CVS repo.
Yes, I was present for this discussion.
Or do you have reasons?
I made the request because I feel I have contributed a significant amount of content and time to the manual, enough to justify being an author (in my opinion ofcourse).
As a quick summary of my activities:
I have cleaned out the user notes from many of PHP's "most wanted": imagecopyresampled http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/reference/image/functions/imagecopyresampled.xml?r1=1.5&r2=1.6&ty=u imagecopyresized http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/reference/image/functions/imagecopyresized.xml?r1=1.3&r2=1.4&ty=u array_multisort http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/reference/array/functions/array-multisort.xml?r1=1.11&r2=1.12&ty=u imagettftext http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/reference/image/functions/imagettftext.xml?r1=1.12&r2=1.13&ty=u ... and several others.
Added several new pages: Type Hinting http://cvs.php.net/co.php/phpdoc/en/language/oop5/typehinting.xml?r=1.1&p=1 http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/language/oop5/typehinting.xml?r1=1.1&r2=1.2&ty=u Autoloading http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/language/oop5/magic.xml?r1=1.1&r2=1.2&ty=u Visibility http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/phpdoc/en/language/oop5/visibility.xml?r1=1.4&r2=1.5&ty=u ... and others.
A couple of other structural changes: Organised the register_globals information Added the magic_quotes chapter
I have also fixed a load of bugs, I'd paste the links but this email is becoming rather boring.
I have contributed over 1200 lines of new material (which does not include new files) and over 120 commits.
Anyway, I'm sure you're aware of all this. I've made my case - of course it would be nice to have this effort rewarded, but I do not mind waiting if you think it is not appropriate yet.
Kind Regards
Aidan Lister
