RE: [Phplib-users] Template problems

[Brian P. <bp...@ct...>]

The biggest problem with user comments is the idle chatter and repetition
that develops if strict moderation isn't enforced. The PHP manual is the
best I've seen, but it can still get off-track sometimes. 

I've never really seen this done, and I'm not sure it would work, but you
could add a rating system which automatically expired comments not meeting a
certain ranking. If the comment doesn't have a high enough rating after,
say, a month, you sort it lower in the list. The problem is going to be that
some comments may depend on others which failed to make the grade (and were
hidden).

I would agree.  It would be best if PHPLIB gurus and project workers
could review any user comments they come across for correctness and
usefulness and then somehow get the actual documentation updated to
reflect them.

I suppose, if nothing else, we could post follow-up user comments
stating "this is correct and is very helpful -- please add".  Then
someone who has time and who knows how to modify the docs and has
access could actually do the cut/paste, editing and formatting into
the docs themselves.
