[Phpgroupware-developers] Greetings, introduction, newbie questions, etc.

[Alan Langford]

Hello. I just recently upgraded a server and in the process migrated from 
eGW to phpGW... let's just say I like the philosophy of phpGW better.

I've been poking around in the docs I could find, trying to learn as much 
as I can before asking new kid questions, but here I am...

I don't see the NextGen branch in CVS (using the CVS client in Eclipse), 
and I see a lot of NextGen looking stuff in URLs... am I correct in 
surmising that the NextGen stuff is now "CurrentGen"?

The second question has to do with contributing. I'm trying to figure out 
what's being worked on so that I don't duplicate effort, but I couldn't 
find much. I've done a lot of work with contact management applications 
(addressbook) and there's some things I'd like to add (like the ability to 
display a contact's organization in the person list).

I saw a lot of "new docs coming soon" around... what's the state of the 
documentation effort? If I'm going to learn enough about this project to do 
anything useful, I might as well record what I learn as I go along. Maybe 
these notes could be a documentation contribution?

Finally, does anyone know of a good, free PHP code formatter? phpGW's 
formatting standards don't match how my tool chain is set up, and 
re-configuring them by project is a pain (I have a feature request in at 
eclipse.org to see if this can be improved, but that could take a long, 
long time). Anything that saves me from hand-formatting patches would 
really help.
