:-)
The document was outdated, since it was referring to old 5.x-6.0 versions. I am
always impressed at how much help just a little help can be. :-)

Andre Purfield is going to read it and send me corrections. We can wait till he's
done with it, since it doesn't make much sense to have two reviewers reviewing the
same text at once.

I knew somebody was going to ask this question... I postponed this task as far as I
could, but finally I knew I *had* to do it (I think this is good from the licence
point of view too, since Versions 1.x were authored by Claudio and in Version 2.0 I
became an author too, so there should be something like the "History" of the
document, see item I of the GFDL:
http://www.karakas-online.de/EN-Book/gfdl-modifications.html). It was an exhausting
work for me, at the finishing stages of version 2.0, but it is over now, so Ladies
and Gentlemen, I am proud to present you:
*Exactly all* changes in version 2.0 of the PHP-Nuke HOWTO:
http://www.karakas-online.de/EN-Book/credits-version-2.0.html
You asked for it, you got it! :-)))
Versions 1.x were 80 pages, version 2.0 is 512 pages long. Even those 80 pages have
been changed at some places. If you ask me, it is better (and probably faster) to
read all the book back-to-back, rather than start from the above link and work out
all the diffs. You choose. ;-)

It's O.K. for me - even longer, if you wish. It's already online on my website, so
time is not that critical for me. Is it going to be a Guide, now that it's grown
that much?
