bjori doesn't blog

8 reasons why you should *not* write for the php.net manual : You get more page hits by publishing your work on your blog You get a free pass to conferences by converting your work into presentation You get paid to submit your work to magazines & commercial websites You get a "trading card" and considered a star The community will know your name You can flame the documentations without needing to do anything about it You can copy&paste parts from the manual and sell it (see point#3) You can license your work to forbid any commercial use or further improvements :)
