was not active lately, so he is not going to go to the currently actives list. Also clarify who is (going to be) listed on the frontpage, and that those are not the most important, but the currently most active people. Sure, they are quite important :)) Any more people to credit as a past editor? git-svn-id: https://svn.php.net/repository/phpdoc/en/trunk@163551 c90b9560-bf6c-de11-be94-00142212c4b1

<acronym>PHP</acronym>, which stands for "PHP: Hypertext
|
|
Preprocessor" is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose
|
|
scripting language that is especially suited for Web
|
|
development and can be embedded into HTML. Its syntax draws
|
|
upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. The main goal of
|
|
the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
|
|
generated webpages quickly, but you can do much more with PHP.

We highlight the currently most active people on the manual frontpage,

but there are many more contributors who currently help in our work or

provided a great amount of help to the project in the past. There are
|
|
a lot of unnamed people who help out with their user notes on manual
|
|
pages, which continually get included in the references, the work of

whom we are also very thankful. All the lists provided below are in

alphabetical order.
