Thanks, Sven

Ok, here we go...

First of all, we shouldn't mail to all of us any longer. Could you all please subscribe to the php...@li...-Mailing-List?
I think we should continue this discussion also there and sent a cc of this message to this list

I also think so

In theory i know what object orientated programming means. But not practically _yet_.

OK, but i think this is a "minor priority"-task

Yes: Let's use normal Linux-Packages: rpm, deb, and for those without a popular distribution: .tar.gz

I heard rumors, that some functions are not available via the telnet-protocol, but via the GUI-Protocol. Maybe we can use this protocol? It might be faster than telnet.

A propos config... can't we move it to /etc/phpeselgui? Since it can be viewed with a browser, this is a security-hole, isn't it?

The best thing would be docbook-xml. We could convert it in most popular formats (html, xhtml, pdf, ps, txt, etc.), but when i tried to use it yesterday, i run into _BIG_ trouble cause docbook-xml is relatively new and i wasn't able to find good documentation for it.

Oh... you already mentioned it... well, this is my last mail which is directly to all of you, my next mails go to this list

Done

Sven, please have a look at it, if it comforts you, please erase the old-directory (this is where your old screenshots had been)
