The original dream of this project was to provide an IDE (or any text editor) access to consistent and concise source files to work with. It's been exciting to see Moacir work hard on implementing this, and we all discuss it occasionally. Today, most editors do some form of scraping to generate 'PHP code insight' files and often times it gets ugly. A few integrate Reflection too. Having this information accessible to plugin authors is a great idea, and the flexibility of PhD_IDE allows this. You get access to all the information, and can design the output format. Eventually we'll start generating (and updating) these and will make them publicly available. However, PhD_IDE (a package for PhD) is not yet published although it may be considered alpha or beta today. Moacir, time for an alpha release? Regards, Philip
